| According to the Asian Development Bank, most of developing Asia will likely see their economies improve on increased domestic demand and a modest recovery in export growth; overall GDP is forecast to rise 6.6% in 2013 from 6.0% last year. Furthermore, given the evolving global economic landscape, policymakers in Asia's emerging markets should not let short term adjustments interfere with the longer-term goal of more balanced, sustainable, inclusive, and integrated national economies. In addition, as advanced economies are readjusting, Asia continues to deepen initiatives and explore new ways to enhance regional cooperation, collaboration and coordination. Thailand is at the forefront of this economic transformation. |
