Learning Lessons: Evaluation Lessons of a Global Financial Crisis for Asia and ADB
Asian Development Bank | July 2012
Abstract
As Asia and the Pacific recovers from the 2008–2009 global financial crisis, the distress engulfing European economies is stoking fears of a new storm battering the region’s exports and restricting financial resource flows. Concerned about a crisis governments in Asia are preparing their defenses and might seek financial support and policy advice from ADB. This brief discusses the potential risks to Asia from a crisis in Europe, and lessons from evaluation on crisis response support provided by ADB and other international financial institutions.
