ASIA FINANCIAL CRISIS CONFERENCE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF CHICAGO Chicago, Illinois October 10, 1998 ..................................................................... Concluding Remarks (Note: Vance Lancaster indicated the plan is to have George Kaufman provide the summar y of content and have Michael thank various parties and officially end the conference. I’ve asked Curt Hunter to fill in any blanks below.) Thank you, George. Excellent summary of discussion at conference. Even such a brief overview gives an indication of the depth and the breadth of the issues we’ve discussed during the past three days. Think it’s been an outstanding conference—the topic was timely and important; the discussion was wideranging, provocative, and- thoughtful. First, like to thank IMF for co-sponsoring this conference. In particular, I’d like to thank Michael Mussa. I’d also like to extend my appreciation to our presenters. The conference has featured more than 50 speakers and discussants from eight countries. Participants drawn from 35 universities, government institutions, and private sector firms. An outstanding group. Finally, I’d like to extend my appreciation to my colleagues at the Chicago Fed who were instrumental in organizing this conference. 426 Michael Moskow Speeches 1998 In particular, I’d like to thank our Director of Research Curt Hunter, Research Officer Vance Lancaster, Serge Sen, Ella Dukes, Shirley Harris and others from the Research Department.
