“Now the world need a new openness in international finance that would require private financial institutions to disclose far more information about their loans around the world and force investors to pay their share of the cost of bailing out troubled nations.

Nope, it was Robert E. Rubin, US treasury secretary in Clinton administration, pointing out weaknesses in Asian countries ‘ financial system including Indonesia ten years ago (original article here).

Touche!
