Asia-Pacific Economies After the Global Financial Crisis: Lessons Learnt and the Way Forward

By: United Nations, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific Pacific Operations Centre Staff

This publication is to understand why countries in the Asia and Pacific region were significantly less affected by the global financial crisis than the world's most advanced economies of Europe and the United States, and what are the main lessons from their experience for building resilience from future crises. The majority of the essays collected in this volume are revised and updated versions of papers presented by experts from the region at a conference organized by the Economic and Social Commission of Asia and the Pacific in Manila in September 2011.
