This paper is divided into three parts as follows. The first part explains why Taiwan was relatively unscathed by the Asian Financial Crisis, including the short term countermeasures that were taken. The second part examines the role of short-term capital flows in the emerging market economy, and the third part concludes the paper.

The Global Financial Crisis

There has been a lot of interest since the global financial crisis in policies allowing emerging market economies to smooth the effects of the global financial cycle. Although the literature has focused mostly on capital controls emerging market governments have relied mostly on international reserves management. This paper discusses the role of reserves in capital flow management based on a simple welfare-based model of capital flows with international banking frictions.

Case Basis

No data are currently available on the role of oral sirolimus in the prevention of recurrent stenosis in the periphery. We report the effects of oral sirolimus in the prevention of recurrent infrainguinal obstructions in patients with complex peripheral arterial disease. Three patients with ischemic rest pain of the lower limbs and repeated short-term need for surgical and/or endovascular revascularization: 9 times within 12 months, 7 times within 15 months, 11 times within 26 months, respectively. Oral sirolimus on a case by case basis, resulted in less frequent restenosis and longer intervention-free intervals: three re-interventions within 37 months in the first patient, one balloon angioplasty within 17 months in the second, and three re-interventions within 21 months in the third patient, respectively. Side effects, in particular dyspepsia and diarrhoea, were mild and tolerable. To our knowledge, this is the first report to show that oral sirolimus was successfully administered in patients with recurrent excessive neointimal proliferation after revascularization of peripheral arterial lesions lowering the necessity of re-intervention and hence prolonging intervention-free intervals.
