Written by a major public figure and player in the events, this important book documents and evaluates a turning point in the political and economic history of Southeast Asia's most populous country, Indonesia. Controversial issues such as the infamous bank closures are analysed, and there is a wealth of detail on a range of topics during this turbulent period in Indonesia's recent history. This book contains a vast amount of original and valuable material, including the workings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at a critical juncture. It also details the various domestic responses to the crisis against the swift and ferocious behaviour of the international markets. Part autobiography and part treatise, this volume candidly examines the Bank Indonesia crisis and has important lessons and insights into the way the economy was managed in the last years of the Soeharto era. A must-read for economists, government analysts and scholars of Southeast Asia and Indonesia in particular which is destined to itself generate much more debate about the events of that period.
J. Soedradjad Djiwandono was the Governor of the Bank of Indonesia between 1993 and 1998. He is currently Senior Fellow at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies, Singapore.
