ASIAN REGIONALISM

LESSON 7
 ASIAN REGIONALISM

 The center of gravity of the global economy is shifting to Asia.

The region’s economy is already similar in size to those of
Europe and North America, and its influence in the world
continues to increase.
 In many Asian countries, the cycle of poverty has been
broken; in others, this historic aim is within sight.
 Asia is now important to the world economy that it must also
play a larger role in global economic leadership.
 ASIAN REGIONALISM

 The region is home to over half the world’s population,

produce’s, three tenth of global output (in terms of purchasing
power) , and consistently records the world’s highest economic
growth rates.
 The question is no longer whether Asia wil be central to the
21st century economy, but rather how it will exercise its
prominent role and how its dependence on the rest of the world
has decreased.
 HOW CAN REGIONALISM
BENEFITS ASIA?

 Connect the region’s capital markets to enhance financial stability,

reduce the cost of capital, and improve opportunities for sharing risk;
 Cooperate in setting exchange rate and macroeconomics policies in
order to minimize the effects of global and regional shocks and to
facilitate the resolution of global imbalances;
 Exercise leadership in global decision making to sustain the open
global trade and financial systems that have supported a half century of
unparalleled economic development.
 HOW CAN ASIAN REGIONALISM
BENEFIT WORLD?

increasingly connected through trade, financial transaction, direct
investment, technology, labor and tourist flows, and other economic
relationships.

companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven
