Answer 1

Answer:

The East Asian Financial Crisis of the 1990s:

Was associated with moral hazard and fixed exchange rates.

Explanation:

The countries which suffered adverse distress from the financial crisis were Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand.  The financial meltdown followed the collapse of the hot money bubble, whereby high interest rates and fixed foreign exchange rates were pegged to the U.S. dollars by these mostly exporting countries.  The practice largely favored these Asian exporters until the bubble burst, starting from July of 1997.  And the consequences and lessons now remain Economics and History topics.
