Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2013

More about the book

Focusing on economic performance, this edition analyzes the recovery of developing Asia from the previous year's slowdown, driven by domestic demand and regional trade. While prices remain stable, vigilance is required due to global liquidity issues. The region faces vulnerabilities from external shocks, including U.S. budget disputes and euro area austerity. To enhance resilience, there is a need for addressing rising energy demands, exploring new supply sources, and integrating regional energy markets, all crucial for navigating the challenges of the Clean Asian Century.
