| The publication presents some of the issues regarding the Asian economic crisis as it affects trade and investment flows, policy responses and scenarios, and how the affected countries should respond. It includes detailed analyses on the need to reduce trade protection, the effects of temporary reversals of trade and investment growth, and analyzes the importance of exchange rate policies. It also discusses the continuing opening of the markets of the United States of America and the European Union, highlighting the importance of sub-regional arrangements and subregional integration processes. It examines the appropriate environment for growth in order to foster financial systems' reform and the restoration of integrity. A matrix is presented indicating the trade and investment policy and liberalization agenda, and explaining how economic cooperation among ESCAP member countries could take place. It also contains comparative tables co-relating various economic indicators and the status of non-tariff measures in selected member countries of ESCAP.
The publication contains papers presented at the Seminar on Emerging Trade and Investment Scenarios and Liberalization Agenda for Asia and the Pacific, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 7 to 8 September 1998. |
