Warning that despite a broadly positive economic outlook for 2017, Asia-Pacific economies are vulnerable to rising global uncertainty and trade protectionism, the United Nations social and economic development arm in the region has called for better governance and stronger fiscal management to sustain and improve economic growth.
In its latest edition of the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) noted that though the region's developing economies are projected to grow at 5.0 and 5.1 per cent in 2017 and 2018, respectively, a steeper-than-anticipated increase in risks could reduce average growth this year by up to 1.2 percentage points.
"As we enter the second year of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, economic growth in Asia-Pacific economies is steady but modest amid prolonged weak external demand and rising trade protectionism," said Shamshad Akhtar, the Executive Secretary of UNESCAP, in a news release announcing the findings.
"Future economic growth will need to rely more on productivity gains [which], in turn, will require effective institutions and better governance, in both public and private spheres," she added.
To address such challenges, UNESCAP has called for effective governance, including a proactive fiscal policy through productive investments in such areas as infrastructure, social protection and resource efficiency.
Effective governance can also for example, improve health outcomes in the Pacific, promote economic diversification in north and central Asia, create "decent jobs" in south and south-west Asia, reduce development gaps in south-east Asia, and accelerate ecological innovation in east and north-east Asia.
