1. (SBU) Summary: The second Asian Public Debt Management (APDM) 
Forum, held in Bangkok April 2-3, brought together government debt 
management officials from thirteen Asian countries to discuss the 
challenges of raising and managing fiscal resources in these 
volatile markets.  The Forum participants overwhelmingly agreed to 
launch an APDM Network, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) agreed 
to provide financial and organizational support to the Network for 
its first three years, along with substantive support promised by 
the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  The launch and 
institutionalization of this network was the culmination of two 
years of effort by FINATT/Singapore and U.S. Embassy Bangkok to 
respond to a request from the Thai Public Debt Management Office. 
End Summary. 
 
Asian Debt Managers Discuss Fiscal and Debt Challenges, agree to 
launch Network 
--------------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) Thailand's Public Debt Management Office (PDMO), in 
conjunction with the International Monetary Fund, the Asian 
Development Bank and the World Bank, held the second Asian Public 
Debt Management (APDM) Forum in Bangkok April 2-3.  This event 
brought together government debt management officials from thirteen 
Asian countries (Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Japan, South 
Korea, Lao PDR, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey and 
Vietnam) to discuss the challenges of raising and managing fiscal 
resources in these volatile markets.  (Note: See the Forum website 
for the full agenda and supporting background papers at 
http://www.pdmo.mof.go.th/asianregionalpdmfor um/index.htm.  End 
Note). 
 
3. (SBU) During the Forum, public debt managers and International 
Financial  Institution (IFI)debt experts held substantive 
discussions covering issues such as how to raise fiscal resources in 
challenging debt markets, how to balance the costs and benefits of 
foreign currency denominated offshore debt, how to develop robust 
repo markets and other market infrastructure, and how to properly 
coordinate debt and monetary policy with the central banks.  The 
non-governmental Asian Securities Industry and Financial Markets 
Association (ASIFMA) also organized a panel of private sector bond 
market experts to discuss ongoing market developments and provide 
feedback on how to improve government bond market infrastructure. 
The Department of Treasury resident debt management advisor to 
Indonesia made a presentation on the importance and various 
modalities of securities lending.  At the end of the Forum, the 
Asian debt managers overwhelmingly endorsed the launch of an annual 
APDM Forum and efforts to support ongoing communications among the 
debt managers by institutionalizing the APDM Network. 
 
Marshalling Resources in Response to Thai Debt Manager Request 
----------------------- 
4. (SBU) Discussions of an APDM Network began in early 2007 with the 
Department of Treasury's regional APEC consultations on how the USG 
could aid local currency bond market development in Asia, while 
avoiding duplication of the ASEAN+3 Asian Bond Market Initiative's 
extensive activities.  During that outreach, the Pongpanu 
Svetarundra, Director General of Thailand's Ministry of Finance's 
Public Debt Management Office (PDMO), suggested launching a regional 
network of his peers to share experiences and successful strategies 
for government debt management which, by extension, would benefit 
the development of government bond markets.  In response, 
Finatt/Singapore organized a private sector-sponsored networking 
event in February 2008 in Singapore which included public debt 
managers from four Asian countries and was supported by Treasury 
debt management advisors.  In mid 2008, other Treasury experts 
provided a seminar on cash and debt management to Thai officials 
which helped crystallize the importance of many debt management 
issues to the region.  Afterwards, the Thai PDMO offered to sponsor 
a larger networking event for Asian public debt managers in 
Bangkok. 
 
5. (SBU) For this Forum, Finatt/Singapore and Embassy Econoff 
coordinated an advisory panel of debt experts for the Thai PDMO to 
advise on the program.  These experts came from the IMF offices in 
Washington and Singapore as well as two offices of the ADB.   The 
advisory panel provided substantive guidance on the agenda, helped 
identify and lobby senior level participants, and provided 
moderators with strong substantive knowledge for the panels.  At the 
end of the Forum, the ADB's Treasury Office offered to use its 
technical assistance funds to organize annual APDM Forums (in 
collaboration with a rotating country host) and develop a website to 
support the APDM Network for the next three years.  The ADB will 
invite (and can financially support, if needed) all of its borrowing 
members and also will invite non-borrowing ADB members, such as 
 
BANGKOK 00000940  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
Japan and Korea, as resource people, so as to ensure that the Asian 
countries with more developed debt markets continue to participate 
in the Network.   The ADB said it will continue to work with the IMF 
to provide substantive expertise for future Forums and other Network 
events.
