In the second quarter of 2021, rising COVID-19 cases have cast a shadow over emerging East Asia's growth outlook. Yet the region's financial conditions remain broadly stable amid accommodative monetary policy stances despite some weakening signs. Local currency (LCY) bond markets in emerging East Asia expanded to $21.1 trillion at the end of June, as governments tapped LCY bonds to support recovery measures and contain the negative impact of rising COVID-19 cases. The ASEAN+3 sustainable bond market expanded to $345.2 billion at the end of Q2 2021, accounting for nearly 19% of the global sustainable bond market. The risk to the outlook for regional financial markets remains tilted to the downside. Uncertainty over recovery prospects due to COVID-19, combined with a strong US economic rebound and possible earlier-than-expected monetary policy normalization in the US, could lead to further weakening of financial conditions. This issue of the Asia Bond Monitor features special boxes on emerging East Asia's economic outlook, market capacity and central banks’ asset purchasing programs, debt build-up, and social risk in developing Asia.

Yet, uncertainties continue to influence economic outlook in Asia and the Pacific.

Yet, there is increasing awareness within the region of the importance of a green and inclusive recovery. Also featured in this edition are the use of green sukuk (Islamic bonds) to fund environment-friendly investments and digital finance for sustainable investments. The theme chapter discusses developments on the public and private governance of sustainable finance.

This guidance note examines the effects of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on real economies, particularly financial sectors, and the measures taken to ease the impact. It notes risks to financial stability, such as an anticipated rise in nonperforming assets. It also reviews short-term actions that can mitigate pressures on people, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), banking and capital markets, and insurance and pensions. Lastly, it provides medium-term policy considerations for resilience in the post- COVID-19 period. These include establishing a framework for epidemic risk financing, buttressing financial stability and macroprudential measures, developing insurance markets for risk sharing and transfer solutions, improving SME financing, and fostering digital transformation in the finance sector.

The Asian Bond Markets Initiative (ABMI) was launched in December 2002 by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People’s Republic of China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea---collectively known as ASEAN+3 to strengthen financial stability and reduce the region’s vulnerability to the sudden reversal of capital flows. This paper also provides recommendations for addressing new sources of market volatility and other challenges within and outside the framework of the Asian Bond Markets Initiative.
