The Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI)
Ministry of Finance, Japan
OECD-ADBI 9th Tokyo Round Table on Capital Market Reform
26-27 February 2008, Tokyo, Japan
1
Background
– High savings in many Asian countries were not efficiently utilized.
– Bond markets in the region --- underdeveloped
– Dominant financing tools --- short-term bank loans provided by the
foreign capital
Background and Purpose of the ABMI
The savings deposited in local banks in the region have been funneled into
international financial centers and then back to the region in the form of
dollar-denominated short-term capital, which is used for local currency-
denominated long-term investment.
⇒ maturity and currency mismatches (“double-mismatch”)
Purpose
– To enable the private sector in Asia to raise and invest long-term capital
without maturity and currency risks.

The Joint Ministerial Statement
of the 10th ASEAN+3 Finance Ministers’ Meeting
5 May 2007, Kyoto, Japan
=Excerpt=
On the Asian Bond Markets Initiative, we encouraged collective efforts of
ABMI Working Groups in prioritising the work plans and setting clear
deliverables to move forward. We welcomed the diversification of issuers
and types of local currency denominated bonds, and endorsed undertaking
of the following new studies: Exploring New Debt Instruments for
Infrastructure Financing, Promotion of Securitisation of Loan Credits
and Receivables, and Promotion of Asian Medium Term Note (MTN)
Programme. We also recognised noticeable progress of studies on
Regional credit guarantee and investment mechanism, settlement system,
credit rating harmonisation as well as technical assistance coordination.
Furthermore, we were also pleased to see the strengthened public and
private sector cooperation under the ABMI.

Exploring New Debt Instruments for Infrastructure Financing
• Bonds issued for infrastructure investments with source of repayments
stemming from the proceeds of the projects (Infrastructure Bonds).
• Investment decisions do not depend on credit ratings of issuers, but on
the profitabilities of the projects.
• It is expected that the study under the ABMI will suggest new types of
debt instruments and associated infrastructure project.

Promotion of Securitization of Loan Credits and Receivables
• Further securitization of loan credits and receivables would contribute to enhance the volume of bond markets, as well as to a further development of various types of collateralized debt obligations.
• It is expected that the study under the ABMI will explore the measures to support a further promotion of securitization of these assets. Major impediments, standards and best practices for realization of these instruments will also be identified.

Promotion of Asian Medium Term Note (MTN) Programme
Respective domestic clearing documents will be documented
under local laws
MTN Programme is the framework which enables companies to issue bonds/notes with various maturity and rates under certain simple procedures and is a major source of funding in the US and European market.
It is expected that the study under the ABMI will find the way for the development and expansion of MTN program in the region utilizing the modality of the ADB’s Asian Currency Note Programme launched last year.
