Abstract

Counters the common understanding of Indonesia's economic crisis as bound up in crony capitalism by arguing for a more complex view of "sources of vulnerability" & "precipitating" causes. These two aspects overlapped in the pivotal months between Aug 1997 & Mar 1998. Indonesia's banking sector, insufficiently capitalized & regulated while excessively guaranteed, was a chief area of vulnerability. The situation was also aggravated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) & the Suharto government's weak macroeconomic administration.
