Ruth Llovet Montanes is a research analyst at the Macroeconomics and Growth Unit of the Development Research Group in the World Bank.Asia’s financial connections with the rest of the world: Changing patterns

As economies in East Asia and the Pacific (EAP) have developed, they have also become important in international financial transactions, both as sources and destinations of cross-border bank lending, foreign direct investment (FDI), and portfolio investments. But, as we document in a new paper (Didier, Llovet, and Schmukler 2017), the composition of these financial connections has been changing in recent years on at least two fronts: (i) the partners with which EAP countries interact, and (ii) the type of financial transactions conducted.
