"Greater flexibility of exchange rates combined with more effective management of capital flows will be needed to support the exit measures," the OECD said in its Southeast Asian Economic Outlook.
Southeast Asian economies are expected to achieve average growth of 6.0 percent per year in 2011-2015, roughly in line with the precrisis level of 6.1 percent, due to strong domestic demand, the report said. It projected 7.3 percent growth in the region for 2010.
The report, which is the first of its kind issued by the OECD, analyses the long-term economic outlook and the policy challenges for the Southeast Asian region.
