The programme would promote transparency and information disclosure in capital markets, enabling market valuation of fixed-income instruments, an ADB statement said.
Jakarta has undertaken financial sector reforms to restore its banking sector to solvency and profitability after the mid-1997 Asian crisis, the bank said.
However, the rate of economic growth has not returned to pre-crisis levels. Indonesia needs investments, especially in infrastructure.
But the shallow, bank-dominated domestic financial sector does not have the capacity at this point to provide adequate levels of appropriate funding, it added.
The banks are not yet capable of providing long-term financing of the type needed for infrastructure investments, while helping the non-bank financial sector, which is still small, appears to be the way forward, ADB said.
“The reforms will strengthen investor protection and will increase the non-bank financial sector’s share of total financial assets,” said Valliyoor Su
