#1>>the region has many strengths--high national savings rates, budgetary discipline, work ethic, heavy investment in human capital through education and decades of past sucess in export markets.<< #2>>IMF-sponsored program as reforming its banking system, restructuring corporate governance, reducing the dead hand of state control of the ecomony or promoting "transparancy" and fairness in a system that has rewarded a corrupt elite rather than the public at large.<< The Korean crises began basically as a financial event which had its genesis in the corrupt and "untransparant" financial markets and corporations, as noted in paragraph #2. IMO, it will take strong medicine doled out by the IMF with a heavy emphasis on reforming these institutions before confidence will be restored. Once they take the medicine, paragraph #1 can come to the fore. BWTHDIK bp
