Asian companies range from tiny food stalls to international conglomerates. Just as diverse as these companies are the environments in which they operate, from the informal sector of a newly emerging market such as Myanmar, which has limited financing options, to an advanced city-state such as Singapore, with its deep capital markets and international investors.
In this special report, Building Asia’s Capital Markets, we look at different financing strategies in key locations across the region. The Banker’s editors have worked with our colleagues at sister publication Nikkei Asian Review to present this joint report to coincide with the 50th annual meeting of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Yokohama in May. This is the second year of our collaboration around the ADB meeting.
