The Mexican peso crisis: implications for international finance

Edwin Truman

Federal Reserve Bulletin, 1996, vol. 82, issue Mar, 199-209

Abstract: The Mexican peso crisis has raised legitimate questions about Mexican economic policies before and during the events of December 1994 and January 1995, but its propagation through international financial markets has also pointed to broader questions about those markets. This article considers the international financial implications of the peso crisis from three perspectives: the creditors and their markets, the countries receiving large capital inflows, and the functioning of the international financial system.
