The world economy sharply rebounded in 1999 due to coordinated
efforts of both the industrial and developing countries. The
World Bank, IMF, and ADB will make a presentation to tackle
the new issues, trends, and concerns affecting the Asian and
global economic outlook. |
|
| Is
the region poised for sustained recovery or is another Asian
crisis in the offing? The session will address the achievements
and threats to Asian recovery. |
|
| Globalization
is one of the most highly charged issues today. How can Asian
economies enhance participation and maximize the gains from
globalization while reducing its cost? The
session will address the need for improvements in both domestic
and international systems to make globalization work for the
benefit of all. |
|
| The
long-term economic future of Asian economies depends on effective
and comprehensive national and international policies. The session
will seek to answer the following questions: Are banking reforms
on track? What are the Asian trade policy choices in a rapidly
globalizing world economy? Attention will be given to the globalization
of the Chinese economy. |
