Idea with strings attached: regional-aid plan won't likely stay exclusive

Article Abstract:

The plan of Southeast Asian countries to establish a $100 billion bailout fund to guard against currency devaluation is likely to involve other entities such as Western financial organizations. The mutual fund is being predicted to rival the IMF and the World Bank and is being contested by the world's financial elite. There is no way of telling if the fund would push through or not as Southeast Asian countries are too busy trying to keep their currencies from depreciating further to discuss plans.

Skeptics have dismissed Koeneman's claims, saying that it was difficult to believe in a product that guaranteed against losing periods.
