The Crisis and Challenge ASEAN Faces

This article examines the efforts that have been made by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as an institution to deal with the Asian crisis.At the national level,member countries have taken steps to strengthen supervision of banks,foster great transparency in financial transations,and promote competition. At the bilateral level,ASEAN members have extended assistance to the most affected countries,especially Indonesia.At the international level,ASEAN members have collectively appealed to the advanced countries to keep their markets open,to be more accommodating in the renegotiation of debt,and to remember to protect the poor in their reform programmes.The article traces ASEAN initiatives at successive meetings,but concludes that existing economic co-operation programmes need to be widened in scope and deepened in commitments.
