Tourism has been significantly negatively affected and austerity measures have begun to pressure the population as the economy has turned negative since Governor Pedro Pangelinan Tenorio took office.2000-01-28 The 2001 slugfest https://www.saipantribune.com/news/local/the-2001-slugfest/article_00d4bfa9-170a-594b-96eb-58d02a7b69fd.html 2024-06-04 Saipan Tribune en The Asian financial crisis severely affected the CNMI's main tourist market of East Asia, including South Korea and Japan, the latter also being a key investor in the CNMI since the implementation of the Plaza Accords in 1986 which saw the Japanese investing their surplus of dollars throughout the world. Throughout the period of the Japanese asset price bubble, from 1986 to 1991, "It has been estimated that from 3/4 to one billion dollars in foreign investment flowed into the Commonwealth during the short period of about six years—most of it Japanese."2006-01-17 A look back at the economy: How it happened https://www.saipantribune.com/news/local/a-look-back-at-the-economy-how-it-happened/article_c8a43c33-66d1-5d2b-bcc5-f3f4b91c1213.html 2024-06-04 Saipan Tribune en The bursting of this price bubble saw Japanese investment in the CNMI dry up and severely impacted the Commonwealth.
