This study is aimed at policy makers, business leaders, and opinion makers within Asia to help forge a consensus on a vision of and strategy for Asia's potentially historic rise among the global community of nations between now and 2050.

An additional 3 billion Asians could enjoy living standards similar to those in Europe today, and the region could account for over half of global output by the middle of this century, says this ADB report. This potentially promising future for the region sometimes referred to as the 'Asian Century' though plausible, is by no means preordained.

The study offers a long-term perspective of the Asia region as a whole as opposed to the more common approach that delivers a short- to medium-term perspective of selected countries, subregions or issues.
