Yeah that was a little funny put XD Asia attracted almost half of total capital inflow to developing countries. The economies of Southeast Asia in particular maintained high interest rates attractive to there was too much high intrest. As a result the region's economy's asset prices ran up. Due to this other countries econimies rose greatly.
