Technical Papers
In 2000/2001, ADB provided assistance to selected developing
member countries to strengthen the institutional capacity of their central
banks in compiling relevant financial and monetary statistics and macroprudential
indicators. The objectives were to (a) identify new and changed demands
for monetary and financial statistics as a result of the recent Asian crisis;
(b) specify a set of key financial and monetary macroprudential indicators
that can be used to monitor the asset and financial markets; (c) produce
these additional statistics and indicators on a regular basis; and (d) disseminate
these through print and electronic media.
The International Monetary Fund, the European Central
Bank, and the University of Asia and the Pacific contributed to this activity.
The papers presented below were presented during the project's
concluding workshop held in Manila in May 2001.
