Asia has become a crucial part of the global economy, boasting three of the ten largest economies—China, Japan, and India—and contributing more than 35% of world GDP. Investment has been booming in recent years, with Asia accounting for about 40% of net private capital flows into emerging markets.
The region’s economy is now the fastest growing in the world, and contributes close to 50% of global growth. Aggregate GDP for Asia expanded by a robust 7.4% in 2005. This growth has been supported by a favorable external environment and continuing progress on domestic reform issues. Experts expect China and India to continue to be the fastest-growing countries in the region, with projected 2006 GDPs of 9.5% and 7.3%, respectively.
Where are the next best investment opportunities in Asia? Hear from the senior executives of growing public companies from the region, and learn what leading experts have to say about Asia’s economic outlook.
