East Asian Finance - The Road to Robust Markets argues that East Asia needs and is well positioned to enhance its financial systems to meet the growing and increasingly sophisticated demand for financial intermediation in the region.

To make the most of the $1.6 trillion in foreign reserves and $9.6 trillion in domestic financial sector assets, East Asia needs to further diversify its financial markets by developing its securities markets .

• Strengthening implementation of corporate governance and information disclosure
• Developing complementary or supporting infrastructure such as repo markets, margin trading and derivatives.
• Developing a broader and more diversified investor base.
