Causes of the CrisisIncreased the currency band.
Indonesia responds by increase currency band on rupiah from 8% to 12% so the value of the currency had more room to fluctuate and to allow the currency to re-stabilize within the band.
Manage floating exchange rate (SEEN AS STABLE) to a free floating exchange rate (SEEN AS UNSTABLE).

Causes of the CrisisHow does it all come together?
As the strength of the of the Indonesian rupiah continually decreased.
The over borrowing of foreign loans by the private sector (specifically private corporations) cause increased borrowing of the dollar.
Corporations discarded rupiah (because of increase in debt under the rupiah), continuingly undermining the value of the rupiah.

During the CrisisIMF Prescriptions
Originally the IMF required that the government engage in strict austerity measures of fiscal and monetary policy.Draconian government cutbacks. i.e. food and energy
subsidies and so forth.After it is was discovered that the original cause for
the crisis was rooted in the private sector, IMF felt that is was necessary to implement measures to deal with the problems within it.Required reforms that would mimic American and European
currency, banking and financial systems.Also they required the liquidation of half of the banks. (only
16 were liquidated)Additionally provided $40 billion worth in “rescue packages”
for the banks.

During the CrisisIMF Prescriptions
This was especially true for the private banking sector, which the IMF sought to reform.
Most importantly, the IMF requested that the Indonesian government “sell off” or privatize government companies. It was believed that the Indonesian government was inefficient because of heavy government intervention in the public sector.
Thus, the IMF believed that more liberalized government agencies would help them become more efficient, this would help eliminate the crisis.

enormously undervalued in comparison to pre-1997 levels).
