Update of Perspectives on Asian Development

The ADB Institute and the Institute of Fiscal and Monetary Policies (IFMP) of the Ministry of Finance, Government of Japan, jointly sponsored a workshop for the program The Update of Perspectives on Asian Development at the Institute's premises in Tokyo on 30-31 July 1998. It was attended by the eight Program Advisors, and about 30 academicians and development practitioners from 13 countries representing different organizations. The basic objectives of the workshop were to determine the priority research themes, and chalk out a clearer roadmap for the Institute's focal work program for the next two and a half years.
