Contributions by various international experts are presented focusing on topics covering policy reforms on how to develop balanced policy frameworks that support currency stability, monetary policy independence, and an increasing degree of financial openness, and how to build robust, resilient financial systems that can serve the interests of the real sector in a stable manner and absorb shocks coming from volatile capital flows and global financial turmoil. The thematic topic areas covered include (i) international monetary system reforms, (ii) managing international capital flows, (iii) Asian currency arrangements, (iv) regional financial cooperation, and (v) linking regional and global initiatives.

Internal balance is achieved at the optimal trade-off point between inflation and unemployment (if such a trade-off really exists), and external balance involves both intra-area and inter-area balance of payments equilibrium.
