East Asia and Pacific central banks reinvest Asian bond funds

A group of East Asia and Pacific central banks is closing its US-dollar denominated bond fund and transferring the investment to a local-currency bond fund to enhance local-currency bond market development in the region.

Asian local-currency bond markets have grown steadily since the inception of Asian Bond Fund 1 (ABF1), providing local currency funding for borrowers in the region and local currency savings vehicles for regional investors.

A joint statement by Bank Negara and Executives Meeting of East Asia Pacific (EMEAP) said that from 2003 to 2015, issuance of local  currency-denominated bonds in Asia ex-Japan recorded a near eight-fold increase from around US$125 billion to more than US$1 trillion.
