Welcome to Seminar on
“Monetary Cooperation in East Asia:
Anything to learn from the Euro Crises?”
on Tuesday January 24, 2012
Speaker: Professor Eiji Ogawa, Hitotsubashi University, Japan
Since the economic crises in Asia in 1997, there is an ongoing process of strengthening regional monetary cooperation in East Asia. The currencies however responded asymmetrically to the global financial crisis, and there is a challenge to tackle the differences in exchange rates that adversely effects intra-regional trade and FDI in the East Asian production networks. Discussions are ongoing on a regional common currency unit for East Asia. The lessons to be drawn from the current Euro crises as well as where East Asia monetary cooperation is heading will be discussed.
Professor Eiji Ogawa is vice president of Hitotsubashi University. He is the chairperson of the governing board of EU studies in Tokyo and a councilor at the Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies, Bank of Japan. He has written and published extensively on monetary issues.
Discussants:
Mauro Gozzo, Chief economist at the Swedish Trade Council
Kristina Sandklef, Macro-economist at East Capital

The International Symposium on
“EU-Japan Relations in the Decade Ahead
- Something New or More of the Same?”
The Japan – EU relationship is always considered very important, but never leads to any substantial action. The main document on relations between the two, the 10-year “Action Plan” is up for renewal. Will we have another ten years of cordial relations in all fields, but without substantial action in any? The Japanese “wise person” group appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to study this issue meets with their colleagues from the European-
Japan Advanced Research Network (EJARN) to debate about the future of Japanese-European relations.
