Results 1-4 of 4 for Asian Development Outlook 2008
September 2008
The Update presents four thematic chapters discussing recent global commodity price rises and their impacts on developing Asia. They suggest that high international commodity prices are here to stay. But, given that demand-pull rather than cost-push factors are causing high prices, the role of monetary policy is still relevant in containing price pressures. Indeed, there has to be a reshifting of the basic monetary stance toward tightening throughout developing Asia, to prevent inflation from becoming entrenched.

This year's theme on workers in developing Asia spotlights three issues. Will the region reap the demographic advantages of its many young people about to enter the workforce? Can it resolve its silent crisis in terms of its skills shortages? Third, with migration burgeoning within the region, will policies move to keep up with the reality on the ground?
December 2008
As the deepening financial crisis intensifies its grip on the global economy, its effects have begun to be felt by Asian economies. In light of this, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) established a Regional Economic Outlook Task Force. The task force had reassessed ADB's medium-term growth projections for developing Asia, the most recent of which were published in the Asian Development Outlook 2008 Update in September 2008. This special note provides revised estimates of the growth prospects for developing Asia in 2009.
