Jumpstarting South Asia

Revisiting Economic Reforms and Look East Policies

By: Pradumna B. Rana,Wai-Mun Chia

Jumpstarting South Asia focuses on the slowing pace of economic growth and makes the case for a two-pronged strategy to jumpstart South Asian economies. South Asian countries should complete the economic reform process that they had begun in the 1980s and the early 1990s and implement the more microeconomic reforms, namely, the sectoral, and governance and institutional reforms to enhance competition and improve the operation of markets. They should also implement the second round of ‘Look East’ policies or LEP2 to link themselves to production networks in East Asia, their fastest-growing market, and develop production networks in manufacturing and services within their region. This book argues that the proposed strategy will lead to a win-win situation for all countries in South Asia and East Asia, and also reinvigorate economic integration within South Asia. The book identifies the remaining policy agenda for each South Asian country.

Singapore and Asia in a Globalized World

Under the section, OC Public Policies and Economic Issues of SingaporeOCO, Singapore''s public policies in the areas of healthcare, Central Provident Fund, and monetary policy are explored, as well as issues concerning Singapore''s economic development, such as economic transformation, innovation and capital accumulation are discussed. The second section, OC Singapore and the Region in a Globalized WorldOCO, looks at the challenges and opportunities presented to Singapore and the region in an increasingly globalized world. Current issues on the sub-prime crisis and Asian monetary integration are also discussed. The last section, OC Other Economic IssuesOCO, consists of papers in specific areas such as economics of medical decisions, economics of love, and the role of exchange rates in foreign direct investment.

Jumpstarting South Asia

Revisiting Economic Reforms and Look East Policies

By: Pradumna Bickram Rana,Wai Mun Chia

This unique book analyses how further economic reforms and closer relations with East Asian countries could enhance economic growth and integration in South Asia. It makes a powerful and realistic case for a two-pronged strategy in South Asian countries to (i) complete the economic reform process that they had begun in the 1980s and 1990s and (ii) implement the second round of "Look East" policies (LEP2). The book also identifies the unfinished policy reform agendafor each South Asian country and the components of the LEP2 that they should implement.
