Regional Integration in East Asia : Challenges and Opportunities, Part 2. Trade, Finance, and integration
The authors analyze the patterns of East
Asia's trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) from a
global and intraregional perspective, taking into account
the importance of trade and FDI interlinkages. They propose
two regionally-focused approaches to promoting trade and FDI
in East Asia-regional agreements and regional production
networks. The East Asia crisis strengthened appeals for
regional cooperation in the financial area. As a result, a
number of financial arrangements and initiatives have
emerged since the crisis, the most prominent of these, the
Chiang Mai Initiative. (The Association of Southeast Asian
Nations plus China, the Republic of Korea, and Japan decided
at their meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in May 2000, to
establish a regional network of swap arrangements.) While
opening of the capital account is considered desirable in
the long run, it is associated with considerable risk,
particularly if macroeconomic policies are not sound and
financial supervision and regulation is weak. Because of the
potential volatility associated with floating regimes and
the desire to avoid another crisis in the region, the
authors discuss a number of options.
