Additional Information	The ASEAN Swap Arrangement forms the basis of the 2000 Chiang Mai Initiative (CMI), a currency swap mechanism involving the ASEAN+3 member states (ASEAN, China, Japan, Republic of Korea). The initiative comprises the ASEAN Swap Arrangement and a network of separately negotiated bilateral and multilateral swap agreements. It is likely that the 2000 Memorandum of Understanding on the ASEAN Swap Arrangement (text unavailable) superseded the 1977 MOU and its Supplementary Agreements. The 2005 Memorandum of Understanding on the ASEAN Swap Arrangement also definitively provides that: “Article III: Date of Coming Into Force 3.1 The Arrangement shall come into force on 17 November 2005. This Arrangement contains all the terms and conditions of the agreement between the participating members with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous arrangements, agreements and commitments whatsoever, whether oral or in writing. The Second Supplemental Memorandum of Understanding on the ASEAN Swap Arrangement dated 17 November 2004 is hereby terminated with the effect from 17 November 2005.” Lao PDR acceded to the 1977 MOU, the 1-6th Supplemental Agreements and the 1981 Amendment via the 1997 Second Protocol for the Accession of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic to ASEAN Agreements. As of this update CIL staff have no information on the participation in the 1977-2000 ASEAN Swap Arrangement by Brunei Darussalam, Viet Nam, Myanmar or Cambodia.
