Asia after the Global Financial and Economic Crisis Conference

Background

ADBI is planning to hold a series of conferences related to the crisis, including identifying its likely impacts on Asian countries, developing scenarios for growth re-balancing away from exports, and developing recommendations related to macroeconomic policy, structural and institutional innovations, regional integration and financial reform. To enhance impacts of its global financial crisis projects, ADBI seeks to collaborate with partner institutions with similar interest in conducting research and organizing conferences. In this regard, ADBI will act as one of the collaborators of a conference organized by the Singapore Economic Review (SER), a leading journal in economics in Asia.

Following the success of the Singapore Economic Review Conferences in 2005 and 2007 (where 350 economists from 40 countries attended), SER will organize the third conference from August 6-8, 2009 in Singapore. As a collaborator, ADBI will organize a plenary session on 7 August 2009 focusing on Asia's future after the global financial and economic crisis.
