Tóm tắt
This research examines the relationship between the net foreign asset position (NFA) and financial development of ten developing countries in Asia over the period 1973-2013. Using the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) method, the research results provide empirical evidence that financial development (measured through private credit/GDP ratio and bank credit to bank deposit ratio) contributes to the reduction in the net foreign asset position in the long run of a country, thus reducing the current global imbalance.
