Shortage of foreign exchange reserves has made Thailand no strength prop against currency attacks, deep in crisis. Vietnam and Thailand are the countries with developing Asia, there are many similarities, therefore, after the crisis, Vietnam can draw some lessons on foreign exchange reserves and management foreign exchange reserves from Thailand:
Firstly, constantly increasing foreign reserves, even if the economy is stabilizing. This is very important because it will help to create a shield protecting the economy from potential threats such as the loss of confidence of the people, or the entry of hedge funds ... We can improve foreign exchange reserves through measures such as strengthening boost exports, reduce imports, encourage foreign direct investment, strict management of investment funds indirectly to limit capital flight . The fact that after the crisis, Thailand has realized his weakness and was constantly increasing level of foreign exchange reserves. Specifically from the figure had less than $ 30 billion in 1997, far Thailand impress with nearly $ 180 billion foreign exchange reserves, and also promises to continue to increase in the future.
Second, improve the quality the amount of foreign exchange management to ensure the sustainability of these stocks. The establishment of strict legal framework as well as measures to control short-term capital stringent foreign exchange reserves will help avoid depletion when faced with the mass withdrawal from the economy.
third, reasonable choice of macroeconomic policy management. The main application of the policy and the trio Impossible created loopholes for currency attack. When speculators simultaneously "out of hand", the foreign exchange reserves were no longer able to resist.
Fourth, the Government should be more cautious in assessing the key indicators of the economy. For foreign exchange reserves, the State should not only look at the surface of the figures which must assess the foreign exchange reserves in relation to the other criteria, especially short-term debt indicators. That lack of oversight and do not grasp the actual situation as well as undue confidence that Thailand did not see the potential danger of the crisis. When the debt maturity period, USD demand spike, but the government continues to keep the exchange rate fixed anchor. This has put pressure on Thailand's foreign exchange reserves. When the exchange rate is no longer anchor again, Thailand was forced to float the baht, the country officially in crisis period.
