Aside from China, no, according to a new IMF working paper by Marta Ruiz-Arranz and Milan Zavadjil. This is in large part an attempt to insure against a repeat of the 1997 Asian currency crisis:
The paper has presented evidence that to a large extent explains Asia’s large reserve accumulation since the 1997–98 crisis through the precautionary motive. Current reserve holdings in most of Asia (excluding China) are not seen excessive when compared with levels predicted by a simple model of optimal reserves applied to specific country and regional characteristics. By mitigating the potentially large welfare costs of crises, reserves provide benefits in terms of insurance that more than compensates economies for the
opportunity cost of holding liquid assets.
Large currency reserves have the added benefit of lowering borrowing costs:
Furthermore, the benefits of reserves in terms of reduced spreads on privately held external debt, and thus borrowing costs, further justifies most of the observed growth in reserves. The paper finds that a majority of economies in Asia continue to benefit from reduced spreads, as evidenced by the high estimated threshold levels beyond which no further gains are realized.
Nonethless, the authors consider that current reserves "are close to or have recently reached optimal
reserves levels", and "a slowdown in the pace of accumulation in Asia is now desirable."
China, meanwhile, remains an anomaly. These models "cannot fully explain the large stock of reserves in China" - a subject to be explored in future research.
I feel delighted to read such a good post, I would like to thank the Author for this marvelous efforts. This post is good in regards of both knowledge as well as information. Thanks for the post.

Most people on the main Street don't understand concepts such as opportunity cost -let alone figuring out various morphs of Capital. Most,however,do understand a hefty reserve with a Lock on it -for insurance and emergency purposes.

It would appear that much of Asia has weathered this global financial crisis a little better than their US and European counterparts.

“North Face Outlet isn’t the only brand ’s successful .” said analyst Matt Powell of SportsOneSource, “but North Face Jacket’re the most successful.” In fact,Powell estimates that less than a year after launching the brand, North Face Jackets has an 80 percent market share of what calculates to be a $150 million domestic North Face business.

Perhaps the reasons are mostly Political. Its like giving assurance to the public-the government is on top of things. Most people on the main Street don't understand concepts such as opportunity cost -let alone figuring out various morphs of Capital. Most,however,do understand a hefty reserve with a Lock on it -for insurance and emergency purposes.
