Regional : Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2018-2020 – Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2019 (Subproject 2)
The proposed subproject is part of the cluster regional research and development technical assistance that will support the preparation of the flagship publication the Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific (KI) for the next 3 years. The publication provides (i) the latest comprehensive compendium and analysis of trends in economic, social, financial, and environmental indicators including those pertaining to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for ADB's regional members; (ii) a unique set of reliable and accurate statistics on global value chains (GVCs) that capture trade links across countries and industries while accounting for the complex input output relationships involved in producing goods and services; and (iii) a special report that provides in-depth, data-intensive analysis of an important policy issue.

| Description | The proposed subproject is part of the cluster regional research and development technical assistance that will support the preparation of the flagship publication the Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific (KI) for the next 3 years. The publication provides (i) the latest comprehensive compendium and analysis of trends in economic, social, financial, and environmental indicators including those pertaining to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for ADB's regional members; (ii) a unique set of reliable and accurate statistics on global value chains (GVCs) that capture trade links across countries and industries while accounting for the complex input output relationships involved in producing goods and services; and (iii) a special report that provides in-depth, data-intensive analysis of an important policy issue. In addition to disseminating its statistics through print and digital media, ADB's statistical database system (SDBS) the associated online database of the Key Indicators enables users to access and analyze statistics on economic and social themes. The statistics portal, a related online resource accessible to ADB staff, disseminates information on data resources available in ADB and offers links to non-ADB data resources. | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The TA is designed to address development issues from two perspectives: (i) informing policy discussions on inclusive growth through rigorous empirical analyses of survey and administrative data; and (ii) disseminating official statistics of the developing member countries (DMCs), other economic and social indicators, and survey data sets in an integrated format and through both print and digital media as well as through online databases. While the region has experienced rapid economic growth, there is widespread acknowledgment that growth could be made more inclusive. This indicates a need to rigorously assess and build evidence on the types of policy and institutional frameworks needed for more inclusive development. Given ADB's strategic agenda of promoting inclusive growth and managing for development results, the TA will support high-quality microeconomic research along five pipelines: (i) poverty, inequality, social protection, and labor markets; (ii) human capital development, including education and health; (iii) firm competitiveness, including entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized enterprises; (iv) infrastructure and urbanization; and (v) GVCs and trade. These pipelines will feed directly into the Key Indicators special report and additional reports. The topics for a given year will be decided in consultation with higher management and key sector groups, but are mandated to fall within these five areas of work. Evidence-based decision-making relies on being able to easily access credible statistics and data sets for informing cross-country and within-country analyses on a wide variety of topics, including those pertaining to SDGs as well as trade links across countries. Since both the research and statistics portions of the Key Indicators are critical for understanding inclusive growth and developing evidence-based policies in the region, the Key Indicators was identified as a corporate priority during the TA resource allocation meeting. |
