East Asia Summit and economic integration

Developments of the past few years have led to an Asian resurgence with the emergence of China and India as engines of growth, recovery of Japan from a decade old recession, rise of Asian middle class as source of final demand, and increasing resilience of Asian countries to external shocks such as oil price rise etc. The studies conducted by RIS and ADB have shown that broader regional integration in Asia has the potential of generating billions of dollars of new output and put Asia on a high growth path.
