The Asian Monetary Unit (AMU) is a basket of currencies proposed by the Japanese government's Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI). It is similar to the European Currency Unit (ECU), predecessor to the euro. The Asian Monetary Unit, which has been created as the joint project of 21st century COE project of Hitotsubashi University and RIETI, is a common currency basket composed of 13 East Asian currencies, such as ASEAN 10 plus Japan, China and South Korea. These data have been published on the website of RIETI since September 2005. After 4 years passed, a common currency basket composed of 13 AMU currencies plus three other countries, Australia, New Zealand and India, which are strongly connected with Asian countries, is newly created as "AMU-wide". The AMU-wide, which is a common currency basket composed of wider range of currencies, will be expected to utilise as a surveillance indicator corresponding to the extensive regional economies. The calculation methodology of the AMU-wide and AMU-wide Deviation Indicators are same as those of the AMU. The benchmark period is defined as: * the total trade balance of member countries * the total trade balance of the member countries (excluding Japan) with Japan, * the total trade balance of member countries with the rest of world should be relatively close to zero.〔(The purpose to create a new data of Asian Monetary Unit with ASEAN 10 plus 3 (Japan, China and South Korea) plus 3 (Australia, New Zealand and India) - AMU-wide )〕 ==AMU baskets== The ''AMU'' is a basket composed of 13 currencies, and ''AMU-wide'' is composed of 16 currencies.〔(The purpose to create a new data of Asian Monetary Unit with ASEAN 10 plus 3 (Japan, China and South Korea) plus 3 (Australia, New Zealand and India) - AMU-wide )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Asian Monetary Unit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
