This publication examines how the development experiences of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore can inform macroeconomic and institutional reforms in Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Viet Nam. Its three country studies review economic planning, structural transformation, fiscal and monetary management, financial-resource mobilization, foreign investment, privatization, human-resource development and regional cooperation. The Indonesian study emphasizes stabilization, financial and institutional reform and the social dimensions of growth, while the Malaysian study examines policy fundamentals, infrastructure, export orientation and development institutions. The Singapore study analyses state capacity, market institutions, macroeconomic stability, skills development, domestic savings and participation in regional economic arrangements. An annex presents recommendations adopted at a 1995 workshop in Vientiane for strengthening macroeconomic stability, market institutions, investment policy, public-enterprise reform, human resources and regional cooperation in the Indo-Chinese economies.
