Historical reason of information disclosure and contracting environment gave a strong comparative advantage to banking sector and governments ? Banks were a convenient vehicle for advancing their industrial policies ? Structural characteristics of geographical endowment limited by minimum efficient scale with liquidity ? Legal tradition for investor protection ? Infrastructure of prudential supervision and regulation ? Macroeconomic policy of controls on capital flows furthermore rob liquidity, currency risk limit the local currency securities, interest rate volatility make it unattractive to hold long-term
