The focal point is the analysis of the following directions of financial integration: financial markets liberalization, increase in volumes of direct and portfolio foreign investments, development of stock market cross-border segment. Moreover, the article covers issues related to minimization of threats of unstable national budget systems in ASEAN countries. Analysis is conducted within the context of the concept of financial integration “indirect impact” on economic growth and budgetary systems’ stability, which was explored in detail in the previous article (Financial Journal, 2016, No 5).
