泰国金融危机的导火索,是其陶醉于经济增长的成就,想取代香港成为国际金融中心,过快地开放资本市场,结果使得国际投机资本大举进入,连续冲击固定汇率制度,迫使泰国连带东南亚各国的货币贬值了30%;当年墨西哥也是如此,外贸逆差超过国民生产总值的10%,外债超过国内总投资的50%, The fuse of Thailand’s financial crisis is its achievement of reveling in economic growth. To replace Hong Kong as an international financial center and to open up the capital market too rapidly has resulted in the massive entry of international speculative capital and the continuous impact on the fixed exchange rate system, forcing Thailand to link up with Southeast Asia The currencies of all countries depreciated by 30%; the same was true in Mexico that year. The foreign trade deficit exceeded 10% of the GNP and the foreign debt exceeded 50% of the total domestic investment.
