15 Monetary and Exchange Rate Policy Asian Monetary Fund Chiang Mai Initiatives - currency swap lines arrangement between ASEAN+3 –arrangement between ASEAN+3 –swap network, regional surveillance, monitoring of capital flows, and training of personnel Observation: the amount of money is small relative to the reserves and the liquidity of the markets

16 ASEAN’S surveillance system to Encourage the Coordination of Macroeconomic and Financial Policies Early warning system??? The nature of crisis is changing Hard to use historical pattern to predict future crisis Observation: whether governments in the region can ‘really’ share sensitive economic information.

17 Bond Market Development (I) EMAP – ABF1 and ABF2 ASEA+3 – New securitized debt instruments, issuance of debt by international financial institutions, regional credit guarantees and enhancement facilities, local and regional credit-rating agencies APEC – Development of Securitization and Credit Guarantee Markets

18 Bond Market Development (II) Observation: Efforts in overlapping areas. Interdepartmental coordination needed between Central Bank, Ministry of Finance and Securities Commission for local market.

19 Equity Market Development Institute of Directors of East Asia network was formed The guideline of good corporate governance practices was endorsed by APEC ministers 2001 Future projects –scorecard on corporate governance –training initiative

20 AMU (I) Monetary and exchange rate stability- Asian Monetary Union Pros: Boost up trade volume Insulated from speculative attacks Collective discipline on monetary stability, open capital markets, and fiscal prudence Eliminate competitive depreciation Enlarged, unified financial markets

21 AMU (II) Cons: Loss of monetary autonomy for national interests Loss of autonomy to operate capital control

22 AMU (III) AMU may not too far and may not be the only solution –strengthening the CMI arrangement –developing further the bond markets in the region –extending free trade agreements –cooperating in the pursuit of exchange rate stability

23 Capital Market Development Legal and regulatory framework Information transparency Market infrastructure Corporate governance Credit agencies Investor education Cooperation and alliance of stock exchange
