The measures that officials endorsed included accelerating bank reorganization; slowing the growth of money supply and lending; easing restrictions on the outflow of money; and later, possibly altering China's exchange rate controls, according to official Chinese news reports.
The latest financial crisis tells a different story: China's exchange rate controls are cited as a leading cause of huge global imbalances that contributed to the collapse of 2008.
But many international economists argue that massive government spending and exchange rate controls are to blame.
Later in the week, the government abandoned exchange rate controls on the lira in a bid to get a handle on inflation, which was already at 30%.
The 2001 crisis, the harshest in Argentina's history, contributed to the unpopularity of those policies, which were gradually reversed during the Kirchner administration—including some nationalizations and the return of import permits and exchange rate controls.
A further increase in concentration leads to faster exchange rate controlling the kinetics (see semi flexible k ex = 3, f = 15 and rigid film k ex = 1, f = 5, in Fig. 4).
As figure 1 in Ventosa et al. shows, the Mexico US real exchange has been volatile over the period 1930 2012, but the volatility is most pronounced in the decade beginning 1980 during which exchange rate controls were adopted and banks nationalized (Wallace 1999 provides a summary of events).
It results in the misuse of public power for private benefit, and it manifests itself in extrajudicial payments and bribes to public officials to obtain for instance—import and export licenses, compliance certificates, and to avoid exchange rate controls and tax assessments.
This is because of the government's complicated and convoluted exchange rate controls, which I won't explain here, because a) I don't really understand them myself, and b) there are plenty of explanatory articles elsewhere written by people who actually know what they're talking about.

The Maastricht Treaty laid out a 10-year plan that began with a European exchange-rate control mechanism, proceeded to the adoption of a "virtual currency" in 1999 -- essentially an electronic currency for banks, businesses and brokers, and finally to a currency for cash boxes and coin purses in 2002.
