Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Friday that there was always a possibility that U.S. interest rate hikes could trigger “capital flight” from emerging market economies.
Speaking at a news conference after a meeting of policymakers from ASEAN, Japan, China and South Korea, Aso said global policymakers are keenly watching for when the United States might raise interest rates next.
The ASEAN+3 meeting was held on the sidelines of Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) annual gathering.
