Summary:During the last decade, economic growth of the ASEAN countries was aided by the financial reforms undertaken. Specifically, interest rate liberalization has enabled the narrowing of interest rate differentials between domestic and world markets.

These, together with the relaxation of capital controls will promote a two-way flow of funds with the rest of the world.
