Asian Outlook 2011
VIEW EVENT DETAILSDr. Changyong Rhee will speak at Asia Society on April 12 to launch the Asian Development Bank's flagship publication, Asian Development Outlook 2011. The presentation will be followed by a conversation with Dr. Scott MacDonald, Head of Credit and Economic Research, a Senior Managing Director, and Principal at Aladdin Capital Holdings; author, When Small Countries Crash.
The Asian Development Outlook is an annual economic report that provides a comprehensive analysis of macroeconomic and development issues of the developing member countries of the Asian Development Bank. Dr. Rhee will focus on the report's theme of South-South economic linkages. He will speak on the changing economic center of gravity from the North to the South and the opportunities this shift opens up for developing countries in Asia. The report includes empirical evidence and discusses policy options for developing Asian countries to benefit from the rising economic power of emerging markets through trade and investment.
