Park, Cyn-Young | November 2011
Abstract
A well-functioning financial system has an important role to play in promoting economic growth and reducing poverty. Cyn-Young Park explores the key development agenda of Asian financial systems that aims to promote economic growth and development through well-functioning financial markets and, in the process, bolster inclusive growth to support social stability and equity in the region. Pertinent issues in the region's financial sector development include: (i) supporting economic growth and development, (ii) promoting financial inclusion, (iii) balancing regulation and innovation, and (iv) strengthening crisis prevention and management mechanisms.

Dynamic Effect of a Change in the Exchange Rate System: From a Fixed Regime to a Basket-Peg or a Floating Regime
Yoshino, Naoyuki; Kaji, Sahoko; Asonuma, Tamon (Asian Development Bank, 2015-03-15)This paper theoretically evaluates the dynamic effects of a shift in an exchange rate system from a fixed regime to a basket peg, or to a floating regime, and obtains transition paths for the shift based on a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of a small open economy. We apply quantitative analysis using data from the People’s Republic of China and Thailand and find that a small open country ...This paper theoretically evaluates the dynamic effects of a shift in an exchange rate system from a fixed regime to a basket peg, or to a floating regime, and obtains transition paths for the shift based on a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model ... -
