Bank Negara foreign-exchange trading losses
BNM's aggressive foreign-exchange strategy in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including sterling trading around Black Wednesday, reportedly produced losses of several billion US dollars. The episode damaged the bank's finances and reputation and was followed by a government-supported rescue in 1994.
