The cause was the non-observance of the basic instability in the economies of the nations and the uncontrolled oscillation of the exchange rate of dollar-yen. The dilemma was the outcome of the huge quantity of unstable capital and the blind follower attitude of the market participants that can be set off by impulsive flow of information. (Two Lessons of the East Asian Financial Crisis) The international monetary system has been functioning under chaotic circumstances ever since the row of the Asian financial crisis and the international financial system has been the topic of severe argument by the global community ever since the crisis broke out.

The outcome of the Asian crisis on European nations has till now been low-key, showing their comparatively restricted direct business with other nations in crisis and the healthy financial status of the majority of them, even though by no way everyone, banks having Asian experience. European monetary markets, particularly of the economies in a state of change over, have been battered intermittently. The consequence of the Asian crisis on nearly every nation of the erstwhile Soviet Union was extensive however comparatively pretentious.
