The Mexican financial crisis of late 1994 and early 1995 resulted in a linked collapse of stock market values in almost all developing countries, regardless of economic policies or performance. The contagion effect was clear, and much commented on, if not fully explainable by either theory or past experience. Other Latin American equity markets, being close to ground zero, universally declined by 15–30% in less than a month, as did markets in Asia, where equity indexes in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, Seoul and Bangkok dropped 10–15% in a matter of days. Markets in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic fell by similar amounts see (Figure 1). Overall, the International Finance Corporation’s IFCI Latin America Index lost 19% during the calendar year 1995; IFCI Asia index lost 7% while the IFCI EMEA Index (Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa) gained 20%, but this was due almost entirely to gains by the heavily-weigh ted South African equity index (Littler and Malouf, 1996). Meantime, the U.S. S&P 500 index had risen over 30%.
