This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been working closely with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China (PRC), Japan, and the Republic of Korea---collectively known as ASEAN+3---to promote the development of local currency bond markets in the region through the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI). ABMI was launched in 2002 to help channel regional savings toward long-term investments within the region. ABMI was established with the goal of improving the resilience of the region's financial systems by helping reduce the double mismatches (maturity and currency) of companies' investment financing. Since the launch of ABMI, local currency bond markets in the region have grown rapidly in recent decades in terms of size and diversity of issuers. This study was undertaken under ABMI and funded by the Government of Japan. It focuses on measures to expand the investor base for local currency bonds in ASEAN, the PRC, and the Republic of Korea, with the goal of generating greater variety in investment objectives and a wider range of investment strategies.
Download or read book Local Currency Bonds and Infrastructure Finance in ASEAN 3 written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is working closely with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China (PRC), Japan, and the Republic of Korea---collectively known as ASEAN+3---to develop local currency bond markets and facilitate regional bond market integration under the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI). ABMI was launched in 2002 to strengthen the resilience of the region's financial system by developing local currency bond markets as an alternative source to foreign currency-denominated, short-term bank loans for long-term investment financing. The need for infrastructure investment among ASEAN+3 members is well documented, with estimates for needed investment through 2020 reaching as high as $550 billion. Local currency financing of infrastructure projects has the important advantage of avoiding the currency risk that can arise when a project generating revenues in the domestic currency has foreign currency-denominated debt service requirements. This study was undertaken under ABMI and funded by the Government of the PRC. It addresses two key questions: (i) Why is local currency bond financing not more widely used for infrastructure projects in ASEAN+3? and (ii) What can be done to promote infrastructure bond financing?

This publication highlights an assessment study of green bond markets in ASEAN+3, identifies the barriers to green bond market development, and proposes recommendations to scale up green bond markets for infrastructure development in ASEAN+3.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "China, India and Indonesia need to develop their local currency bond markets (LCBMs) to serve as alternative sources of finance for sustainable growth. In the coming years, these three countries need to raise vast sums of funding to enable the creation of, among other things, necessary infrastructure. This report looks at the possibility to further develop the local currency bond markets in general, and ways to broaden and deepen the institutional investor base in these three emerging G-20 markets, in particular. It presents several recommendations to make the local currency bond markets more attractive to both issuers and investors, in relation to three main areas of analysis: price discovery, execution and enforcement. This report was prepared within the framework of the Emerging Market Dialogue on Finance (EMDF), which is implemented by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). It was carried out by CEPS, in cooperation with the Research Bureau of the People's Bank of China (PBoC), the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) in India and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), based in Indonesia."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book The Development of Local Debt Markets in Asia written by Mr.Mangal Goswami and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper makes an assessment of the progress made in developing local debt markets in emerging Asia. Market development has been limited by hurdles confronting borrowers and lenders, current and potential liquidity providers, and insufficient support from government policies and regulations. Besides fostering a credit culture to deepen local debt markets, the issue of critical size can be addressed through an integrated regional market for local currency bonds that provides greater scale, efficiency, and access. With rapid economic growth in Asia, a key challenge is to generate financial assets that can provide the underlying collateral for expanding fixed-income markets, and hence domestic and regional investment opportunities.
Download or read book Facilitating Foreign Exchange Risk Management for Bond Investments in ASEAN 3 written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been working closely with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea---collectively known as ASEAN+3---to foster the development of local currency bond markets and facilitate regional bond market integration under the Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI). ABMI was launched in 2002 to strengthen the resilience of the region's financial system by developing local currency bond markets as an alternative source to foreign currency denominated short-term bank loans for long-term investment. Bond investors typically have a long position in local currency bond markets. To manage their foreign exchange (FX) risk, they may want to hedge that exposure for a period of time. They also want to be sure they can easily convert the local currency to dollars upon the sale of a bond. This study was undertaken under ABMI and funded by the Government of Japan. It reviews the FX and FX hedging markets in ASEAN+3 as they relate to cross-border investments in local currency bonds, and makes recommendations to facilitate the development of the markets and FX risk management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building local currency bond markets has become an increasingly important topic for emerging market countries, particularly since the Asian financial crisis. This report reviews why countries should consider building local currency corporate bond markets and how to evaluate what is needed and what might be developed. It includes eight country studies: Republic of Korea, Australia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It is based on the IFC-sponsored South Asia Debt Market Symposium held in October 1999 in Sri Lanka, which brought together regulators and market participants from around Asia and other parts of the globe to discuss issues in developing local markets. The report is divided into two parts: Part I addresses why and how to develop bond markets. It begins with a chapter describing a framework for evaluating bond market development (which was used to produce the five South Asian country surveys in Chapters 11-15), and summarizes key points from the symposium papers and the South Asian situation. It is followed by presentations on the importance of bond markets and on the risk-management of bonds and the benefits of supranational issuance. Part II consists of country case studies.

Download or read book Tracking Global Demand for Emerging Market Sovereign Debt written by Mr.Serkan Arslanalp and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes an approach to track US$1 trillion of emerging market government debt held by foreign investors in local and hard currency, based on a similar approach that was used for advanced economies (Arslanalp and Tsuda, 2012). The estimates are constructed on a quarterly basis from 2004 to mid-2013 and are available along with the paper in an online dataset. We estimate that about half a trillion dollars of foreign flows went into emerging market government debt during 2010–12, mostly coming from foreign asset managers. Foreign central bank holdings have risen as well, but remain concentrated in a few countries: Brazil, China, Indonesia, Poland, Malaysia, Mexico, and South Africa. We also find that foreign investor flows to emerging markets were less differentiated during 2010–12 against the background of near-zero interest rates in advanced economies. The paper extends some of the indicators proposed in our earlier paper to show how the investor base data can be used to assess countries’ sensitivity to external funding shocks and to track foreign investors’ exposures to different markets within a global benchmark portfolio.
