Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2021 Paperback / softback

Part of the Key Indicators (KI) for Asia and the Pacific Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

This publication provides updated statistics on a comprehensive set of economic, financial, social, and environmental measures as well as select indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The vital data within Key Indicators are now accessible in a digitized format, with the new Key Indicators Database. The report covers the 49 regional members of ADB. It discusses trends in development progress and the challenges to achieving inclusive and sustainable economic growth across Asia and the Pacific.

This 52nd edition discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the challenges of meeting development targets, which needed urgent attention even before the global health crisis began. To put into practice the "leave no one behind" principle of the SDGs, the availability of more detailed and informative data is crucial.

With the pandemic intensifying society's reliance on digital platforms for remote working and learning, as well as for shopping and entertainment, the 2021 report features a special supplement, Capturing the Digital Economy: A Proposed Measurement Framework and Its Applications,which is rooted in input-output analysis and uses readily available national accounts data.

The study provides a sound basis on which to assess the relative importance of the digital economy in national and global production processes.
