The crisis revealed the strengths of the 'Twin International Peaks' model, as decisions were able to be made in a timely manner to contain the crisis, and clear divisions of powers and responsibilities were instrumental in ensuring effective coordination between key agencies. However, the crisis also exposed certain areas where improvements could strengthen the 'Twin Peaks' framework. Intensive and well-focused efforts are being made to strengthen the supervisory framework.
