Abstract
One consequence of the Asian crisis has been the adoption by potential investors of a whole range of new strategic approaches to the issue of foreign direct investment (FDI) in that part of the world. Investors’ attitudes have varied according to the way in which they have interpreted the changes that have occurred as a result of the region’s recent economic crisis. The economic typhoon in the Far East caused a number of major transformations. The most urgent of these were the structural reforms and the de-regulation measures that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) strongly recommended to the three main victims of the crisis, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia.
