DUSAHNBE, March 14, Asia-Plus -- The Asian Development Bank’s (AB) Tajikistan Resident Mission in Dushanbe will host the local launch of the Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2008 on April 2, press release issued by the ADB Dushanbe Office said.
Will economies in emerging Asia lose steam if the US economy slips into recession? Is Asia resilient enough to weather the turmoil in global financial markets? Will rising food and energy prices fan inflationary flames across the region? How shall policymakers deal with rising inflation and a slowdown in global growth? Can the People’s Republic of China cool its economy and glide to a sustainable growth trajectory? Can India meet its high growth targets?
These issues and others will be addressed at the main launch of the Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2008, ADB’s flagship economic publication, which will take place in Hong Kong on April 2, 2008.
The publication includes comprehensive economic analysis and forecasts of more than 40 economies in developing Asia and the Pacific, and examines medium-term trends and prospects by subregion – East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central and West Asia, and the Pacific.
The special theme of the ADO 2008 is “Work and Workers in Developing Asia.” It focuses on key issues ranging from youth unemployment and skills training to pension systems across the region.
ADB, based in Manila, is dedicated to reducing poverty in the Asia and Pacific region through pro-poor sustainable economic growth, social development, and good governance. Established in 1966, it is owned by 67 members – 48 from the region. In 2007, it approved $10.1 billion of loans, $673 million of grant projects, and technical assistance amounting to $243 million.
