Concluding Remarks

Trade has played an important role in Asia's economic re-emergence and infrastructure has played an important role in facilitating trade by lowering trade costs and influencing comparative advantage and competitiveness. The shift toward lower weight-value ratios of traded goods and increased value of timely delivery has implications for infrastructure investments and expansion. Notably, the development of physical infrastructure should be complemented by improvements in supporting institutions.
