The financial world will feel better now Korea has got most of its foreign debts rolled over. The bankers who lent Korea the money in the first place declare they have solved the Korean crisis a mere momentary liquidity squeeze and the Asian crisis along with it. The world may believe them for a short while (though it's ironic it should grant credibility to bankers it was their stupidity that let the crisis happen).
But I don't believe the crisis is over. That's because the emerging-market crisis is global and will hit earnings of big multinational blue chips. Trade figures showing how little of rich countries' GDP depends on exports to the emerging markets disguise the ugly truth. Most international business done in emerging markets is produced there and then sold to the new middle classes in these countries at prices way above those prevailing in the US. That business will suffer from currency collapse, demand deflation and from a wipe-out of much of the moderate stock of wealth built up by these middle classes.
In the US, Japan and Europe, domestic producers will also lose pricing power because of deflationary pricing of emerging-market imports.
