Indonesia and the Asian Development Bank
Author: Peter McCawley
Publisher: Asian Development Bank
ISBN: 929262203X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
This publication is a history of the partnership between Indonesia and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). When Indonesia became a founding member of the bank in 1966, the country faced daunting challenges. In the five decades that passed, both Indonesia and ADB have evolved in remarkable ways. Indonesia developed rapidly through the late 1990s yet faced a difficult time of adjustment after the Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998. The country has since resumed growth in the last decade. For its part, ADB has widened its activities in Indonesia, transforming from a project-oriented bank into a broad-based development institution. This effective partnership reflects Indonesia’s success in working with the international community in the past 50 years.

The Korean Financial Crisis of 1997—A Strategy of Financial Sector Reform
Author: Mr.Angel J. Ubide
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451844646
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 67
Book Description
After years of strong performance, Korea’s economy entered a crisis in 1997, owing largely to structural problems in its financial and corporate sectors. These problems emerged in the second half of that year, when the capital inflows that had helped finance Korea’s growth were reversed, as foreign investors—reeling from losses in other Southeast Asian economies—decided to reduce their exposure to Korea. This paper focuses on the sources of the crisis that originated in the financial sector, the measures taken to deal with it, and the evolution of key banking and financial variables in its aftermath.

Restructuring of State-Owned Financial Institutions
Author: Hans Dieter Seibel
Publisher: Asian Development Bank
ISBN: 9292547119
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Despite the trend toward financial sector liberalization in recent years, state ownership of financial institutions remains widespread in the developing world. However, in general, state-owned financial institutions have under performed their private sector counterparts, and governments have sought to restructure them. This case study reviews the transformation of Bank Rakyat Indonesia from a loss-producing, overstaffed state-owned bank to the most profitable bank with the largest microbanking network in Indonesia. From the bank's experience the study seeks to draw decisive lessons for the successful transformation of other state-owned financial institutions. For Bank Rakyat Indonesia, the key driver of successful reform was the government's commitment to allow it the autonomy to restructure itself-including an emphasis on good corporate governance, supported by appropriate regulations and effective supervision.

Credit Guarantees
Author: Asian Development Bank
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789292575717
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Transaction reforms in eight Pacific Island countries have shown the value in ""movable"" assets such as machinery, inventory, and accounts receivable for use as collateral in borrowing. They can benefit businesses and financial institutions that offer business loans. Yet, despite these reforms, financial institutions remain unwilling to lend. Businesses still find it hard to access the credit they need to grow, which in turn creates jobs and drives the economic activity needed in the Pacific. Credit guarantees are often proposed as an instrument to overcome this problem. However, as this report finds, there is no strong theoretical justification for their use.
