Introduction

The Asian Crisis of 1997 brought calls to strengthen monitoring of financial markets in the region. In light of academic research on crisis “contagion” during the 1997 crisis, not only domestic regulatory agencies in Asia, but regional bodies as well, have devoted increased resources to early warning systems to monitor the likelihood of systemic crisis or instability in their own economies and regionally as well.

This study proposes an early warning model for predicting bankruptcy of commercial banks and investigates the usefulness of regional cooperation in designing such models and monitoring the sector. We hope that this study will serve as a reference to domestic regulators designing early warning monitoring systems for their banking sector and encourage regional cooperation in the design and monitoring of such systems.
