The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) along with Japan, China, and South Korea says it will launch a $120bn reserve fund, increasing the foreign exchange reserves that the region can draw on in times of turmoil. Japan has offered an additional $60bn via a swap line. Can regional funds provide an Asian alternative to the IMF?
