In Asia in the late 1990’s, measures aimed at the financial sector dominated IMF-imposed structural adjustment programs, but there were also programs that focused on tax and expenditure reforms, corporate governance, privatization, and business-debt restructuring. While not all of these programs were implemented in strict compliance with IMF conditionality, they played a key role in promoting significant improvements in Asian competiveness.
最后，除了结构重整之外无路可走。在1990年代末的亚洲，虽然国际货币基金组织施加的结构调整项目主导了整个金融部门，但同时还有一些着眼于税制和支出改革的项目。即便这些项目并不全都遵照IMF的严格条款执行，却也在大幅增强亚洲竞争力方面扮演了关键角色。
