Development of Domestic and Regional Capital Markets

Many DMCs are at a stage where they would benefit from further developing their domestic capital markets to reduce their dependence on mainly short-term bank financing for long-term investments and enhance allocation efficiency. ADB is supporting this process through assistance for

  • strengthening the regulation and supervision of securities markets in accordance with international standards and practices
  • enhancing market infrastructure
  • improving corporate governance requirements
  • removing policy distortions that affect the efficient allocation of domestic savings
  • introducing new financial products and services

ADB has also provided assistance for regional bond market development.
