Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2009

Special Chapter
Enterprises in Asia: Fostering Dynamism in SMEs

Asian Development Outlook 2009 Update

Special Note: NEW Regional Forecasts
Is Recovery Taking Hold in Developing Asia?

The Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2009 is the flagship annual statistical data book of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It presents the latest available economic, financial, social, environmental, and Millennium Development Goals (MDG) indicators for regional members of ADB. Data are grouped under MDG and Regional Tables. The special chapter in Key Indicators 2009 “Enterprises in Asia: Fostering Dynamism in SMEs” looks at the impact of the current global economic crisis on small and medium-sized enterprises and discusses how to foster greater dynamism in SMEs once the crisis has played out.

The annual Asian Development Outlook aims to present an analysis of the recent past and forecasts for the next couple of years for the developing economies of Asia. This Update to March’s publication sees somewhat stronger growth for both this year and the next than was earlier envisaged, as developing Asia as a whole is proving to be more resilient than earlier appreciated to the global economic slowdown. The resumption of growth this year has taken place amid a mild inflation environment across the region, though more robust growth next year is likely to push prices up faster. The Update also focuses on the theme topic of broadening openness for a resilient Asia.
