- Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
- The impact of Key Indicators 2017 will be to influence the environment where economic monitoring and policy formulation, investment decisions, and new projects occur, especially in ADB's DMCs. The outcome will be that by the end of 2017, Key Indicators will be referred to by policymakers and/or economic researchers within and outside the ADB, as well as by the general public. The improved contents will provide: (i) information on economic trends and emerging policy issues that affect the development prospects of DMCs; (ii) high-quality data presented in the country, regional and SDG tables; and (iii) new indicators on the selected specific themes. Potential performance targets would be citations by major newspapers and publications, referential mentions by reputable media, and usage of the KI contents in corporate materials and Asian Development Fund DMCs.
