The '''Four Tigers''' or the '''Asian Tigers''' are the prosperous economies of four Pacific Rim regions: [[Hong Kong]], [[Singapore]], [[Taiwan]] and [[South Korea]]. Since the 1960's their economies have rapidly developed by selling high value goods to developed nations. They did this in part by purchasing American Treasuries ensuring a lower value to their local curriency making their exports seem cheaper, and by putting in place [[tariff|tariffs]] to prevent incoming goods. Education was another important aspect of their growth to ensure that the workforces were well educated and ultimately more productive.
