授業の概要（ねらい） |
|
This course (composed of Development Finance III in the spring semester and Development Finance IV in the autumn semester) deals with the development finance issues of the developing countries in Asia. A robust and efficient financial system promotes sustainable development by channeling resources to their most productive and effective use, thereby fostering more efficient resource allocation. Effective financial mobilization internally or externally, and adequate use of these financial resources are some of the key issues in developing countries.
Development Finance III will mainly discuss the financial sector development in developing countries in Asia, while Development Finance IV will discuss how developing Asian countries should mobilize development financial resources in support of sustainable development purposes. The course is participatory so that students are encouraged to participate actively in the class discussions.
