Capital Market Reform in Asia is a compilation of selected papers that captures the essence of the issues and challenges that contributed to capital market reform in the Asian region. The central theme of this volume is to chart the progress of capital market development in Asia after the 1997—1998 Asian financial crisis, to understand the complex process of capital market deepening in emerging market economies, and to acknowledge that in the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2007—2009, robust Asian capital markets are crucial for mobilizing domestic savings for investments in Asia, both nationally and regionally.
The book provides new insights into several important themes in capital market reforms in Asia and is written by Asian financial policymakers, practitioners, scholars and experts invited by the organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI).
