TY - BOOK AU - Hossain, Akhand Akhtar TI - Central banking and monetary policy in the Asia-Pacific SN - 9781847203724 U1 - 332.11095 PY - 2009/// CY - Cheltenham, UK PB - Edward Elgar Publishing KW - Banks and banking, Central --Asia KW - Monetary policy --Asia N2 - The 1997 East Asia crisis exposed many economic policy weaknesses in the Asia-Pacific region. In his latest book, Dr Hossain provides students with a refreshing up-to-date reference text on the concepts and principles of money, banking and finance in developing countries which differ in many ways to monetary institutions and practices in developed countries, which conventional monetary textbooks focus on. I thoroughly recommend it.
