Overview
[English follows Japanese]
このたびブルームバーグでは、国際通貨基金(IMF)およびボストン大学グローバル開発政策センターのご協力を得て、「 Leading by Design: Asian Lessons for Monitoring Global Financial Stability(世界金融の安定を監視するために~アジアからの教訓)」と題し、セミナーを開催します。
本セミナーは、12月に金沢で開催予定のASEAN+3経済協力・金融安定フォーラム(AMRO)「ASEAN+3 in Kanazawa 」にご登壇予定のボストン大学ウィリアム・W・グライムズ教授をはじめとする地域経済サーベイランスに関するタスクフォースのメンバーをゲストスピーカーにお迎えし、金沢に先駆けて東京で開催するもので、同タスクフォースによる新しい報告書についてわかりやすく解説いただきます。
1997-98年のアジア通貨危機を経て、東アジアでは、ASEAN+3(中国・香港、日本、韓国)の全13か国が参加するネットワークである2400億ドルのチェンマイ・イニシアティブのマルチ化(CMIM)契約が発効となり、通貨危機の際に加盟国が利用できる資金が大幅に増加しました。CMIMと東アジアの全体的な金融安定を支援するため、ASEAN+3はASEAN+3マクロ経済研究機構(AMRO)を設立、地域経済サーベイランスの広範かつ厳格なシステムを急速に進展させました。
本セミナーでは、AMROのサーベイランス能力開発に関する評価を行い、地域金融機関によるマクロプルーデンス・サーベイランスのための5つの重要な教訓と、地域サーベイランス・システムを設計する際の5つの基本的なトレードオフを明らかにします。
なお、今回の報告書は、グライムズ教授が共同リーダーを務める地域経済サーベイランス・タスクフォースが、ボストン大学GDPセンターの後援、国際交流基金日米センターの助成により完成させたものです。
年末でご多用の折とは存じますが、何卒ご参加下さいますようご案内申し上げます。

Leading by Design: Asian Lessons for Monitoring Global Financial Stability
Bloomberg, in cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Boston University Global Development Policy Center (GDP Center), will host a seminar to release a new report by the Task Force on Regional Economic Surveillance entitled “Leading by Design: Asian Lessons for Monitoring Global Financial Stability.”
The seminar will be held in Tokyo prior to the ASEAN+3 Economic Cooperation and Financial Stability Forum, “ASEAN+3 in Kanazawa,” at which Task Force co-leader Prof. William W. Grimes of Boston University will be speaking. The seminar will feature Prof. Grimes and other members of the Task Force.
The Global Financial Safety Net has been dramatically reshaped since 2000, with the emergence of large-scale regional financial arrangements. In East Asia, the ASEAN+3’s $240 billion Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization (CMIM) has vastly increased the funds potentially available to members facing currency challenges. To support CMIM and overall financial stability in East Asia, the ASEAN+3 created the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Organization (AMRO), which has rapidly developed an extensive and rigorous system of regional economic surveillance. AMRO’s progress holds important lessons for other regional financial arrangements as they build out their own surveillance capabilities.
This seminar will present the findings of the Task Force, which was held under the auspices of the Boston University GDP Center with funding by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership. It provides an assessment of AMRO’s development of surveillance capacity and identifies five key lessons for macroprudential surveillance by regional financial organizations as well as five fundamental trade-offs in designing regional surveillance systems.
We hope to see you there.
