    Public debt levels in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines (the ASEAN-4) significantly exceed pre-Asian crisis levels due to persistently large fiscal deficits and bank re-capitalisation measures.

Yet, the Philippines and Indonesia still require substantially higher primary surpluses to reduce their public debt to GDP ratios to internationally recommended levels over the medium term.
