Manila, Mar 24, 2006 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Asian Development Bank (ASX: ATB) Press Conference
Can China sustain its breakneck growth? Is India the new Asian powerhouse? Can trade continue to propel Asia? What are the risks facing Asian economies in the year ahead? What are the opportunities to build long-term growth? Will Asia remain the world's most dynamic economic region?
Dr. Ifzal Ali, Chief Economist at the Asian Development Bank, will address these issues and others at the launch of the Asian Development Outlook 2006. The ADO is ADB's flagship economic forecasting publication. It includes comprehensive economic analysis of and forecasts for more than 40 economies in developing Asia and the Pacific, and examines aggregate trends and medium-term prospects by subregion - East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and the Pacific - in the context of global economic movements.
ADO 2006 includes a special chapter on the future of trade in Asia. The growth of free trade arrangements in the region has created an expanding "noodle bowl" of deals with convoluted and costly implementation rules that have the potential not just to divert trade, but to destroy it. How should developing Asia position itself to maximize the future benefits of trade?
