SOUTHEAST Asian countries and their major trading partners China, Japan and South Korea yesterday agreed to double a regional financial crisis fund to US$240 billion.
The fund, known as the Chiang Mai Initiative after the Thai city where it was conceived, is a collection of currency swaps set up as a safety net for Southeast Asia. Some 80 percent of the financial commitments for the fund come from China, Japan and South Korea.
