Latest Press Release
The CGIF was established in November 2010 to promote financial stability and to boost long-term investments in the ASEAN+3 region (the "Region")a. CGIF provides guarantees on local currency denominated bonds issued by corporations in the Region. Such guarantees will make it easier for corporations to issue local currency bonds with longer maturities. This will help reduce the currency and maturity mismatches that caused the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis and make the Region's financial system more resilient to volatile global capital flows and external shocks.
The aim of CGIF is to help companies that otherwise would have difficulty tapping local bond markets to secure longer-term financing and reduce their dependency on short-term foreign currency borrowing to mitigate currency and maturity mismatches. Increased issuances of local currency bonds will promote financial stability in the Region and aid the development of ASEAN's bond markets.
CGIF had received an initial capital contributions of USD700 million from ASEAN, the People's Republic of China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and ADB. As of 05 January 2021, CGIF's capitalization stands at USD1.1052 billion following the Capital Increase Plan.
