| Summary: | The authors discuss the impact of the
East Asian financial crisis on the power sectors of four of
the most severely affected economies-Indonesia, Malaysia,
the Philippines, and Thailand. For each country the authors
examine the impact of the crisis on the cost of private
power and the knock-on effects on retail tariffs. They also
assess the sustainability of current private power programs,
which hinges on the level of government risk exposure, the
method used in awarding contracts, and the changed capacity
needs in the wake of slowing or negative GDP growth. |
