Opportunities in Asian Domestic Bond Markets: Crisis, promise and reality

BY JONATHAN ROGERS, EDITOR, IFR ASIA

Ten years after the Asian financial crisis,the region’s domestic bond markets have showed fantastic resilience in the face of the credit crunch. The trend for issuance in domestic currencies in South East Asia versus issuance in G3 currencies has favoured the former in growth terms over the past years, and this is forecasted to continue on.

The Asian Development Bank has been instrumental in urging the streamlining of regulations in regional domestic bond markets. Where they have led, others are following. But this is a relatively new market, and in the current market conditions, issuers need to tread very carefully.

Opportunities in Asian Domestic Bond Markets: Crisis, promise and reality provides a wide-reaching examination of the developments of these markets to date, and their prospects for the decade ahead. Before examining each domestic market, this report looks at region-wide initiatives likely to impact the sector, and weighs the prospects for sovereign, agency and corporate issuance.

Packed with over 300 tables of comprehensive data, case studies and viewpoints from leading practitioners in each market, as well as from senior government officials, this report is required reading for anyone with an eye on these developing markets.
