 note = {P/330.1/De8, application/pdf, ZDE199809_006, The East Asian economies have been hit by a currency crisis and their miraculous growth has stopped abruptly. More than a year has passed since the crisis started, but the recovery of economic growth has been slow. Individual governments are struggling to overcome their severe economic difficulties, but they find themselves trapped and unable to recover on their own. Japan quickly contributed 37 billion dollars to these countries, but the Japanese economy itself has been stagnant. This paper tries to respond to the Asian request for help and seeks to explain how Japan is positioned in the current crisis and what scenario Japan can propose for overcoming it. The paper emphasizes closer cooperation to restore a stable currency regime, and calls for macroeconomic policy coordination, the strengthening of liberalization and facilitation, and greater economic and technical cooperation within the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation community.},
