At their meeting in Hanoi on 7 September 2006, APEC Finance Ministers welcomed ABAC’s (APEC Business Advisory Council) offer to facilitate in-depth discussions with individual economies focused on how the public and private sectors can collaborate to develop their respective bond markets (with special attention on corporate bond markets). ABAC proposed to coordinate, with the APEC Finance Ministers’ process, a series of one-day sessions, each focused on 3 or 4 developing economies’ bond markets. The first of these sessions recently took place on the margin of the Second Senior Finance Officials Meeting (SFOM) held in Melbourne (9-11th May 2007). The central objective was a dialogue between interested economies and market players aimed at identifying aspects in the policy and regulatory areas which could be addressed by authorities to enhance the environment for corporate bond issuance. The dialogues were also aimed to identify capacity building initiatives which might include public/private partnerships to build the environment conducive to corporate bond issuance. MAFC assisted with sponsoring regulators from Vietnam, Phiippines and Indonesia attend the dialogue.
