GLOBAL ECONOMIC TRENDS: HOW SUSTAINABLE IS THE ASIAN ECONOMIC ENGINE?

Pavilion 4, Conference Hall 4.1 Arena

With the Asia-Pacific region serving as the major powerhouse for global economic growth over the past two years, much of the world has a stake in its continued strong performance. But Asia’s status as an engine for sustained and increased growth is not a foregone conclusion.

1) How sustainable is Asian economic growth over the coming year? What are the risks of a significant slowdown in China and other Asian economies?
2) What lessons developed Asian countries offer for emerging economies? Should Asian economies make adjustments to stimulate domestic and regional growth? How should these adjustments be undertaken?
3) How does Russia fit into the growth pattern of Asian economies?
