This edited book explores debt accumulation in Asia and discusses policy recommendations.

Asia has shown what success in economic development looks like. However, governments, corporations, and households financed their path to prosperity with debt. The volume of debt hanging over Asian economies is projected to grow even faster because of the pandemic. How sustainable is this? What can policy makers do to keep Asia’s finances stable? The authors explore key questions and policy implications, including the use of new financial instruments.
