Rationale

On the tenth anniversary of the Asian financial crisis, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is organizing an international symposum to review how Asian countries underwent two decades of dramatic change, from the rapid economic growth of the mid-1990s, to the large setbacks occurred during the crisis, to the renewed sustained expansion of today. Distinguished speakers, including current and former leading economic figures in the five crisis most-affected countries, will discuss the future of Asia and the perspectives for deepening regional cooperation and integration.

(*) This symposium is related to an ADB flagship project on "Emerging Asian Regionalism: Ten Years after the Crisis" (http://aric.adb.org/emergingasianregionalism.php). |  Emerging Asian Regionalism Project Facts Sheet
