This occasional paper focuses on the fiscal aspects of financial crises in emerging market economies and as such fills a gap in the crisis literature. The discussion in the paper is based on statistical analysis of a large dataset of fiscal variables and case studies of eleven emerging market crises during the 1990s. The paper concludes that there are several important fiscal causes of crises related to the size of deficits and their financing, the, level and composition of public debt and structural fiscal factors.
