In some models, the panicked investors would not necessarily be foreign investors -domestic capital flight could be another source of large rapid international capital movements.

    • In principle, one could further try to separate "internal" and "external" sources of fundamental strength or weakness. However, in practice they are typically interrelated: for example, real exchange rate overvaluation often leads to lending booms in domestic non-tradables such as real estate.

    • Fritz-Krockrow argues that more general macroeconomic instability (particularly high and variable inflation) discouraged saving and hampered financial intermediation, especially the development of long-term financial instruments.

    • In this regard, the prescient response by former finance minister Jesus P. Estanislao to a question posed at a May 15, 1997, lecture bears repeating: In the case of Thailand, two critical sectors have been weakened because of over-capacity: real estate and banking. Real estate suffers from over-capacity: too many units have been built in relation to actual and potential demand. The financial sector, which was over-extended to the real estate sector, suffers from a high rate of past due loans in their overall loan portfolio. In the Philippines, the real estate sector is far from being overbuilt. The occupancy rate in prime commercial areas is very high, at more than 95%, and real estate as a sector accounts for less than 15% of the loan portfolio of the banking system. In fact, based on all the information available, both confidential and non-confidential, the Philippines banking system is solid. See Jesus P. Estanislao, The Philippine Economy: An Emerging Asian Tiger, Asia & Pacific Lecture Series, no. 1 (Singapore: Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, 1997), p. 28.

    • Again, it is worth quoting Estanislao's pre-crisis statement on this point: Having been burned by the foreign debt problem of the 1980s, we in the Philippines are taking a very conservative stance toward foreign financing. We go for long-term bonds, and where possible also for equity finance from abroad. That is why we have been very active in the bond market as well as the equity market. We are so much less reliant on short-term commercial bank funding, from which we have been shying away. Estanislao, The Philippine Economy, p. 35.

    • Japanese banks reduced their exposure to the rest of Asia by an estimated $30 billion in 1998, accounting for roughly 30% of the net capital outflow the region experienced in 1998. By 1999, nearly half of the Japanese banks that had been operating in Asia in mid-1997 had pulled out.

    • At the time of the crisis, the Philippines was the only large Southeast Asian economy under an IMF program, which may have acted as a crude signal for foreign investors to proceed with caution, despite the notion that an agreement with the IMF is sometimes regarded as something akin to a macroeconomic "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval."
