The Asian bond market and Asian bonds are thus mechanisms for financing for development that also promote greater regional economic stability.

Indeed, by the early to mid 2020 s, the Asian consumer market will be twice the size of the US market.

On one side, emerging market countries like India, China, and the Southeast Asian economies, are experiencing robust growth.

The members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ASEAN 3) and the Asia Cooperation Dialogue are considering developing the Asian bond market.

Now they are in rapid retreat from that market, creating a worrying gap that Asian banks are seeking to fill.

As a result, Russia has lost its access to cheap Central Asian gas, as well as to the Chinese market.

These countries had already lost export market shares to China and other low value added and labor intensive Asian economies.

We see ever growing support for the proposal to develop an Asian bond market, which I put forth in 2001.

In the intervening years, particularly after the Asian Financial Crisis, the pro market, anti intervention Washington Consensus fell out of favor.

But the economic model persisted, with Asian economies stepping in to finance the US deficits, while using the US market to grow rapidly.

Here, the model to follow is not the euro, but Latin America s Southern Common Market (Mercosur) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

It has an indirect effect on European exports to Asia, which can be sizeable because the US market is so important for Asian exports.

The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis affected the economy, resulting in a lingering decline of the value of the peso and falls in the stock market.

Finally, after Mexico s 1994 95 peso crisis and the 1997 1998 Asian financial crisis, the US exported its new banking model to the emerging market economies.

Moreover, East Asian countries exported increasing quantities of parts and components and capital goods to foreign owned enterprises in China that produce for the local market.

They are lucky that hostility to competition in what purports to be the homeland of free market capitalism has kept Asian airlines out of their domestic marketplace.

Fearful of a relapse of end market demand in a still shaky post crisis world, Asian policymakers have been reluctant to take an aggressive stand for price stability.

In 2002, for example, China's retail market was worth 4,000 billion, larger than all non Japan Asian countries combined, and represented 5 per cent of worldwide retail sales.

During the Asian financial crisis of 1997 1998, South Korea a relatively large emerging market economy received what was then considered a very large IMF rescue package 10 billion.

And a flat 2011 performance in some Latin American and Asian equity markets following tremendous runs in 2010 has taken a bit of sheen off the emerging market investment fad.

The IMF s attempt to enshrine capital market liberalization in its charter, coming as it did in the middle of the 1990 s Asian financial crisis, was a public relations disaster.

Overreaction and herding behavior by market participants could trigger a sudden reversal of capital inflows, with a severe dollar shortage as occurred in 1997 and 2008 straining Asian banks and corporations.

Its handling of the Asian financial crisis in 1997 1998 severely antagonized leading middle income emerging market countries and they still believe that the Fund does not have their interests at heart.

This domestic shortage means that Gazprom is unable to increase supply to Europe, at least in the short term, unless it can buy gas at below market rates from its Eastern European and Central Asian neighbors and in turn sell it to its European customers at market prices.

In fact, the explanation for market calm probably lies elsewhere. So, if a conspiracy of Asian central banks is not to blame for the volatility drought that is parching traders earnings, what is?
