While the economic rebound of the Asia-Pacific region from the financial crisis is stronger then expected, turning this rebound into a long term recovery that creates a fairer, more balanced, and sustained regional economy is the focus of the 2010 edition of the United Nations Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2010.
The United Nations will issue this critical report on Thursday 6 May in Bangkok and cities across Asia and the Pacific. The flagship publication of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) — the regional arm of the UN — the Survey analyses the economic recovery of the region thus far and offers specific and innovative economic and social policy recommendations to governments of Asia and the Pacific to create a stronger more sustainable economy for the region.
