Financing Asia’s Growth
Estrada, Gemma B.; Noland, Marcus; Park, Donghyun; Ramayandi,Arief | July 2015
Abstract
The paper highlights the need to revisit Asia’s financial development for a number of reasons. These include
the region’s growth slowdown since the global crisis, compounded by a less benign external environment;
internal structural challenges, such as population aging; and the maturing of much of the region into middleincome
status. The study also underscores that financial development and inclusion work best in a policy
environment that is conducive to growth and development.
