The report concludes that East
Asia can emerge from the shadows
of the 1997 economic crisis,
and return to a position of
global competitiveness, but
only if it adopts a new approach
in four key areas. The report,
"Can East Asia Compete?",
argues that continued economic
recovery and sustained rapid
growth of the middle and high
income countries of East Asia
will depend on : |
| |
•
building innovation capability
• strengthening market
institutions and business services
• harnessing information
and communications technologies
to the fullest
• promoting openness |
