PREFACE
Increased cross border financial activities, trade and economic exchanges are known to create strong intraregional
links and an integrated economic region. While in South Asia, efforts have been made to promote intraregional
trade, however the intraregional financial integration appears to lag behind due to asymmetric developments in
the economic and financial sectors. It is in this context that SAFE applied for USAID's Small Grants and
Ambassador's Fund Program (SGAFP) in 2011, to develop standardized market regulations so as to create the
necessary environment for an enhanced regional financial integration and achieve convergence across different
markets of the Region.
Project Objectives:
The concept for this project has been developed under the specific needs identified by the South Asian Association
for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Secretariat of facilitating regional financial integration. The objectives of the
project are
