INTRODUCTION 1.1 WHAT IS BOND? In finance, a bond is an instrument of indebtedness of the bond issuer to the holders. It is a debt security, under which the issuer owes the holders a debt and, depending on the terms of the bond, is obliged to pay them interest (the coupon) and/or to repay the principal at a later date, termed the maturity.

Nevertheless, the ratio of bank deposits to GDP was also high at 154% and therefore banks were able to finance their lending operations from their deposits. * As the banking sector was heavily exposed to the economic crisis that struck the nation in 1997, it was very cautious in extending new credits. In the post-crisis period, loan growth was low; for example in 1998 and 1999, growth was less than the target of 8% proposed by the government. * The malignancy of the Asian financial turmoil was derived from the externally-driven currency crisis with the internally induced banking crisis.
