During the New Order government, Indonesia experienced a process of economic recovery after hyperinflation in the 1960s. A number of policies and programs during President Soeharto's leadership were actually successful in bringing Indonesia to a state of recovery, and they were even able to achieve various new achievements, which led to Indonesia being nicknamed the 'Asian Tiger'. However, as a result of the Asian Financial Crisis, Indonesia again fell into the abyss of an economic crisis (monetary crisis) in the 1990s.
