1. Introduction1. Introduction• Asian economies developed rapidly and achieved
dramatic reductions in poverty using the export-led growth model, but side effects included: Increasing income inequality Environmental degradation, high energy use
• Moreover, Asian economies were hit hard by the decline in export demand due to the GFC
• Prospect of sustained slower growth in advanced economies highlights needs for a new growth model
• Asia can intensify regional cooperation to achieve greater reliance on domestic and regional demand
• This demand shift can be supported by greater inclusion and greener growth

2. Impact of GFC on Asia2. Impact of GFC on Asia• Export collapse due to excessive dependence on
the US and European markets for export, particularly in Japan, Asian NIEs, and export dependent middle-income ASEAN countries
• Some limited financial contagion, particularly in Korea which almost had a currency crisis
• Loss of business and consumer confidence, GDP contraction or growth slowdown
• But quick policy response with countercyclical fiscal and monetary policy, plus currency depreciation
• Beginning of the adjustment of global current account imbalances

3. Regional Economic Integration a 3. Regional Economic Integration a Vehicle for Growth RebalancingVehicle for Growth Rebalancing
• One of the main engines of growth and development in Asia has been the expansion of trade
• Since the late 1980s, the region has experienced the emergence of production networks and supply chains through the “FDI-trade nexus”—a mutually reinforcing process of manufactured trade and FDI
• As a result, intraregional trade has expanded considerably
• Since the turn of the century, the region has embarked on many initiatives for formal trade integration through Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)
• Greater regional integration of trade and investment can help rebalance growth toward domestic and regional demand

• Outward-oriented policy, supported by conducive business environment, infrastructure, logistics and educated labour created supply chains – forming factory Asia
• These boosted productivity and cut costs; enticing investment and technology transfer.

Benefits of Creating a Large Asia-Wide Benefits of Creating a Large Asia-Wide MarketMarket
• Important to form an integrated market for goods, services and finance with active FDI which would create a bigger market for Asia
• This can enable Asians to produce and consume more and recycle domestic savings for infrastructure and other productive investment in other parts of Asia
• An Asia-wide FTA (such as RCEP for ASEAN+6 countries) can generate large benefits for Asia and globally

B: Inclusive growthB: Inclusive growthInclusive growth promotes access to opportunities for all and spreads the benefits of growth more equitably among all segments of people and businesses
• It addresses poverty reduction (i.e., for the poor to get out of abject poverty)
• It supports low-income people aspiring to join the middle class as well as the middle class people aspiring to further improve their quality of life
• It attempts to address inequity (unfavorable initial conditions) and income insecurity, through Greater access to opportunities (education, jobs, markets,
finance, and unbiased laws and regulations) Provision of cushion against economic volatilities and
unexpected contingencies (social safety nets) Social security system (old-age pension, health, etc)
17
Inclusive growth for a changing societyInclusive growth for a changing society• Success of poverty reduction, and a rapid decline
in the number of poor• A shift of population from poor to low-income (with
$1,000-$5,000 per year) households, and to the middle class (with $5,000-$35,000)
• The resulting demand for diverse needs of society, not simply poverty reduction
• Expansion of policymakers’ attention from “poverty reduction” policies to more comprehensive policies supporting the diverse needs of low-income and middle-class households
• Inclusive growth policy supports healthy developments of the middle class & consumer society 18

C: Environmental sustainability and C: Environmental sustainability and green growthgreen growth
• Asia needs to focus on protecting the environment and improving energy efficiency to achieve a lower-carbon society while pursuing its socioeconomic objectives
• A holistic approach is needed: Mainstream environmental protection, resource use efficiency, and
emission reduction in the development strategy, based on the co-benefits approach
Invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy development, and apply new technologies
Adopt market friendly policies (reducing fuel subsidies and raising energy prices) while paying adequate attention to social protection
• This requires greater prioritization on environmental improvement over “brown” economic activity
• Advanced economies such as Japan, Korea and Singapore are vital in green technology cooperation

Low-carbon green growth can benefit Low-carbon green growth can benefit developing Asia in multiple waysdeveloping Asia in multiple ways
• Many low-carbon policy interventions have important co-benefits for Asia at different levels Enhanced energy security associated with energy efficiency and renewable energy
projects Human health benefits from improved environmental conditions, including lesser air
pollutants Socio-environmental benefits that can be achieved through forestry and agricultural
management, waste reduction programs, smart city
• The new green sectors can create knowledge-intensive employment and international competitive advantage
• Because emerging countries of Asia are likely to suffer disproportionately from the negative impacts of climate change, Asia has strong interests in becoming a leading participant in the global efforts towards mitigation and adaptation

Regional cooperation to accelerate Regional cooperation to accelerate environmentally sustainable growthenvironmentally sustainable growth
Global Framework:•Industrialized Economies: Deep cut and commitment to transferof technology and financial resources.•Developing Economies: Commitment to Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA)
Regional Cooperation Programmes•Financial Mechanisms on emission reduction•Green technology transfer through market based mechanisms such as CDM•Public technology pool using publicly owned or funded green technology
Domestic Polices• Eco/carbon tax• Cap & trade with targets and
standards • Liberalization of trade in
environmental goods and services (EGS)
• Direct and indirect support for Research, Development and Deployments (RDD) 24
5. Conclusions5. Conclusions• Asia has been successful in achieving sustained
economic growth, development, and poverty reduction
• Nonetheless, Asia faces enormous challenges of transforming its development paradigm to:
balanced growth towards regional demand inclusive growth (equitable & socially resilient growth) environmentally sustainable growth• This transformation requires institutional and
governance reform at the national level• Regional cooperation for integration is essential,
while working with the global community25
