Economic Integration, Financial IntegrationDownloadContentSummaryThe financial crisis in East Asia through 1997-98 provided a valuable opportunity for the East Asian countries to thoroughly realize the importance of regional cooperation. In the course of the developing crisis, East Asian countries observed that neighboring countries were not helpful at all due to the lack of cooperative facilities within the region, and were shocked by the attitude of mere observance by advanced countries. The East Asian countries realized that the remarkable economic growth achieved by the countries over the years had based upon nothing but a house of cards. After the crisis had passed, various kind of tools for the regional economic cooperation were discussed and developed in East Asia, including the Chiang Mai Initiative, the burgeoning regional FTAs, discourse about the East Asian bond markets, and so on. While trying to develop proper institutions and tools for regional economic cooperation, it is strongly recommended that East Asia takes an interest in the European economic integration, investigates the past experience of Europe and makes a creative adoption of it. The introduction of EMU and euro, among others, is a good example of economic and monetary integration that East Asia could follow. Competing views among the EU member states on the type of monetary union and subsequent resolution of the discord can make significant implications to East Asian countries who have just launched an early stage of monetary cooperation.

Economic Opening, Free TradeDownloadContentSummaryImport Diversification Program (IDP) was introduced in June, 1999 to diversify the sources of imports as to alleviate the chronic trade deficit with Japan and to protect our immature industry. IDP, until its elimination in the end of 1999, played a significant role in decreasing import from Japan and encouraging competitiveness in domestic companies. IDP was criticized for running counter to the rules of the WTO. As a result of the financial crisis, the phasing out of the IDP was accelerated and eventually on 30 June 1999, the program was finally eliminated. (The rest is omitted.)
