This was basically a symbolic exercise in the early days of Asian financial cooperation, around 1996; the arrangements were not activated during the crisis. Prior even to that, there was the network of foreign exchange swaps between the ASEAN countries which dated back to the mid 1970s, though these were small in size and had not been used since 1992.
Therefore, I very much welcome Sue Milton and Nobert Rothe, and hope that they will find time during their visit to sample a few tourist attractions in Entebbe, as well as Kampala and its environs.
