About this book
This volume comprises studies by leading research scholars in the United States and Asia on Asia’s debt capital markets. They assess the risks and opportunities, and strategies for developing these markets. The authors adopt a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing economics, finance and law, in the context of market practices for promoting well-functioning securities markets.
The motivation for the articles is the fact that eight years of post-crisis discussion has not yet resulted in sufficient actions to broaden and deepen debt capital markets. Yet the role and value of such markets for economic growth and development is undisputed. The articles in this book make an important contribution in identifying obstacles to reform as well as in proposing ways to develop debt capital markets.

Written for:
Public libraries and university libraries, students, academic economists and other researchers, governmental policy makers and country experts, economists and other interested personal at multilateral organizations (for instance the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the Bank for International Settlements and the Asian Development Bank) and at central banks

Keywords:

• bond markets
• economics
