Description:
Recently, the central bank of China lent part of its enormous reserve of foreign exchange to two of its largest banks in difficulty. This seemed to be a very clever policy response since the capital infusion did not affect the money supply nor sacrifice the currency peg as has traditionally been the case. This paper considers the viability of this policy and asks why other Southeast Asian countries with large reserves of foreign exchange did not adopt a similar approach to combat their bank problems in the 1990s.
