47th Annual ADB Meeting – IFR Luncheon Seminar

Astana, Kazakhstan, May 3 2014
2 min read

IFR’s panel of experts will evaluate Asia’s prospects of realising long-held plans to build a transparent borderless currency-agnostic regional bond market that will intermediate Asian savings for the benefit of Asian borrowers, thereby insulating the region from volatile foreign capital flows and minimising the impact of extra-territorial US and EU legislation.

Discussion themes:

  • Update on the Asian Bond Markets Initiative and ASEAN+3 Bond Market Forum deliberations.
  • Is the lack of a single currency undermining the Asian bond market adventure?
  • ‘Asian Eurodollars’: is an offshore-style Asia version of the Eurobond market anchored by a post-2017 fully-convertible RMB the way forward?
  • Boosting intra-regional capital flows and bond market connectivity; Asian issuers aren’t raiding your domestic savings; they’re recycling ample regional savings.
  • Neutralising non-regional hot money inflows.
  • Docs, legal, custodians, central depositories, clearing and settlement
  • The role of ratings in supporting the growth of the Asian bond market.
  • Meeting the needs of Asian SMEs
  • Can Asian capital markets inter-connectedness match regional trade links?
