Ginandjar shared his views on the current financial crisis in comparison with the 1997 Asian financial crisis. He pointed out that despite some similarities between the two crises such as collapse of the financial system and temporary nationalization of financial institution, there were marked differences in terms of origin, causes and extent. He pointed out the importance of avoiding protectionism or trade war, and proposed global cooperation for urgent recovery in view of the world-wide recession that includes the developed countries, which was not the case in the 1997 Asian financial crisis. |
