The Asia-Pacific economy has shown resilience in the face of global shocks, but new challenges are emerging. From near-term economic risks to long-term development hurdles, policymakers must find ways to sustain growth while ensuring no one is left behind.
Join us as we unveil key findings from the 2025 edition of ESCAP's flagship publication, Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific, and explore crucial questions:
- Can the region still escape the "middle-income trap" amid an increasingly fragmented global economy?
- Are Asia-Pacific economies ready to cope with the macroeconomic implications of climate change and climate transition?
- What can policymakers do to navigate the complex, constantly evolving macroeconomic-climate nexus?
