Asia Economic Monitor - December 2001

Abstract

The Asia Economic Monitor (AEM), which replaces the Asia Recovery Report, is a quarterly review of East Asia's growth and recovery, financial and corporate sector reforms, and social developments. Originally focusing on the five countries most affected by the crisis, coverage has now been expanded to include all 10 Association of Southeast Asian Nations member countries plus the People's Republic of China and Republic of Korea. The analysis is supported by high-frequency indicators compiled from the ARIC Indicators section of the Asian Development Bank's Asia Recovery Information Center web site. This issue also features a theme chapter on corporate restructuring in East Asia.
