Publisher's Synopsis
The Asian Development Outlook is the Asian Development Bank's annual survey of economic progress in its developing member countries in Asia and the Pacific. First published in 1989, the Outlook provides a comprehensive yet concise review of recent economic developments and current issues. Economic trends and medium-term prospects for the region are discussed against a background of development in the world economy. The work is divided into three parts. Part I provides an assessment of global economic trends and then traces recent growth experiences in the developing economies of Asia and the Pacific. Part II contains profiles of 25 developing Asian and Pacific countries, plus analyses of recent economic performance. Part III provides a special, in-depth analysis of the reform process in the formerly planned economies in Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mongolia, Myanmar, the People's Republic of China, and Vietnam.
