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?
