Likewise, before the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the IMF and financial markets were unaware that Thailand’s central-bank reserves had been nearly depleted (the $33 billion total that was reported did not account for commitments in forward contracts, which left net reserves of only about $1 billion).
Da mesma forma, antes da crise financeira asiática de 1997, o FMI e os mercados financeiros não estavam cientes de que as reservas do banco central da Tailândia estavam quase esgotadas (o total declarado de 33 mil milhões de dólares não contou com compromissos nos contratos a prazo, deixando apenas mil milhões de reservas líquidas).
