During the Asian financial crisis, Thailand always chose to sell U.S. dollars in response to the sharp depreciation of its currency. Why?

The Asian financial crisis was caused by the Soros consortium!

Asian financial markets launched an attack and began selling Thai baht and buying US dollars.

The Thai baht plummeted.

Its purpose is very clear: to disrupt the financial markets in Southeast Asia in order to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune.

The chaos and loss of control of real estate, foreign exchange reserves, and financial market management in some Southeast Asian countries have provided speculators with golden opportunities.

Picking the weakest, Soros's plan is to start with Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which are the most vulnerable, and then disrupt Asia's "Four Little Dragons" Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan, and finally capture Hong Kong in an attempt to destroy them.

The impression of invincibility has shattered market confidence and triggered a "herd" mentality.

Soros believes that as long as one country's financial market is knocked down, other countries will inevitably fall one after another. This is the so-called "domino" effect.

Later, hosted by the International Monetary Fund, central bank governors from more than a dozen countries and regions around the world held a meeting in Tokyo, Japan. The International Monetary Fund and some countries and regions in Asia committed to sharing a total of US$16 billion for Thailand (

Later increased to US$16.7 billion) financing plan, in which China and Hong Kong each committed to lending Thailand US$1 billion.

On August 21, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) announced that it would grant Thailand a temporary loan worth US$3.3 billion to help it tide over the difficulties.
