State of the Region Report 2007-2008
This year's report presented the PECC editorial team with special challenges because of the great uncertainties regarding
the future outlook. There is uncertainty about how the ongoing sub-prime mortgage crisis will affect the United States
economy and the rest of the region and world. There is uncertainty over whether the broader Asia Pacific region is sufficiently
resilient to withstand a potentially sharp slowdown in the region's biggest consumer market. And there is uncertainty over
whether the societies or the region have the political will and the appropriate institutions to face up to the many challenges
associated with rapid growth and globalization. (download)
