                    [Summary] => As more countries are exiting from the tutelage of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Asian countries are eyeing a bigger part in stabilizing regional currencies by allowing countries like the Philippines greater access to the funds under the so-called Chang Mai Agreement. 


This developed as the Philippines and China entered the final stages of negotiations for the $1-billion bilateral currency swap agreement under the Chang Mai facility, inching the agreement towards completion within the year.
