DESCRIPTION:Regional Financial Arrangements (RFAs) in East Asia emerged in
  response to the Asian Financial Crisis (AFC) of 1997–1998\, which revea
 led significant vulnerabilities in the region’s financial safety nets. I
 n 2000\, the Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI) was launched\, establishing a net
 work of bilateral swap arrangements (BSAs) among ASEAN+3 member economies 
 (China\, Japan\, and South Korea). While this arrangement represented a pi
 oneering step toward regional financial cooperation\, its design was limit
 ed by the absence of a dedicated economic surveillance mechanism and a lac
 k of institutional capacity. Drawing lessons from the Global Financial Cri
 sis (GFC) of 2008–2009\, regional policymakers—ministries of finance a
 nd central banks—pursued institutional enhancements to strengthen the re
 silience and credibility of East Asia’s RFAs. This presentation examines
  these enhancements\, the principal challenges and strategic imperatives c
 onfronting East Asian RFAs in the contemporary global financial order\, an
 d the interaction between regional mechanisms and broader shifts in the in
 ternational political economy\, including the prospective reorientation of
  US economic policy toward East Asia.\nSpeakers:\nDr Yoichi Nemoto (Hitots
 ubashi University)
