Corporate Governance and Finance in East Asia presents the findings of a regional study of corporate governance and finance in selected developing member countries of ADB.

The study attempts to identify the weaknesses in corporate governance and finance in countries most affected by the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and recommends policy and reform measures to address the weaknesses.

The findings of the study are presented in two volumes.

Volume One, A Consolidated Report
  • presents the framework for analyzing corporate governance and finance
  • summarizes the major findings of the five country studies
  • provides key policy recommendations for strengthening corporate governance and improving the efficiency of corporate finance in ADB member countries
Volume Two, Country Studies, collects four country reports.
