This edition of the Asia Bond Monitor reviews developments in
emerging East Asian local currency bond markets and discusses how
the financial sector can help fund the fight against the
coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Local currency bonds outstanding in
emerging East Asian markets climbed to USD16.3 trillion in the
first quarter of 2020. Risks remain heavily tilted to the downside
given uncertainty about the effects of COVID-19. A section on the
financial sector and COVID-19 discusses the use of pandemic bonds
and social bonds to mobilize resources and of fintech to support
inclusive growth and pandemic resilience. A chapter on financial
architecture and innovation examines whether banks or equity and
debt markets are more conducive to innovation. It finds that a
market-based financial system is more conducive.
