More DescriptionMexico was considered a model of economic reform and in good financial health until it suddenly went bankrupt in December 1994: its international reserves had collapsed; its currency was on a free fall; it was about to default on its sovereign debt; and its banking system was on the verge of collapse. This event shocked the world, stunned the international financial community, and sent the entire Latin American region into a state of panic.
