Thus the result was massive outflow of capital and drastic restructuring in most financial institutions which lead to unemployment and high inflation rates.It is therefore, advisable for the government to set up a committee on global economic matters to advice from time-to time on global economic performances so as to avert being taken unawares in case of future occurrence of economic crisis.
