The region’s recovery is on firm footing. Attention is turning to emerging policy challenges that include the return of large – and potentially volatile – capital inflows, appreciating exchange rates and rising inflation and asset prices. The World Bank’s half-yearly review of the developing economies of the East Asia and Pacific Region, the East Asia and Pacific Economic Update, titled “Robust Recovery, Rising Risks”, will be released on 19 October 2010. Based on the latest data and analyses, Mr Vikram Nehru, the World Bank’s Chief Economist for East Asia and Pacific Region, will present trends in the region’s recovery and growth prospects, as well as draw attention to emerging policy challenges.
