The Current Growth Of Asia

These effective strategies helped Hong Kong overcome the financial crisis. All these facts fully demonstrated that China is a responsible big country. After the Asia financial crisis, the importance of China's economy has been brought into focus; China's neighboring countries have begun to recognize the influence of the Renminbi.

East Asia and Latin America seem to benefit most from this. The East Asian economy has developed the fastest with an annual growth of nearly 8 percent (Stand 43 4). This has been achieved through

The author examines the proposition by Larry Summers, the United States Treasury Secretary, on the economic approach presented by China and India in regard to the next decade. Larry Summers observes that there is no certain growth in China, thus he urges people to deviate from the reliance on the predictions of sudden growth in Communist China, using what they term as Asiaphoria (WSJ). The most significant and acknowledged fact on cross national growth is the regression of data in relation to the mean. The authors argue that the evidence of continuous national growth in a period of a decade does not present a guarantee for continued growth. On the contrary, quick national growth has been noted to lead to a slump in the rate of economic growth.

Financial crisis is defined as the financial meltdown, or in other terms as the credit crunch. A financial crisis is an economic incidence makes it hard to obtain and access the capital for use in investment. The economic crisis is an ongoing economic problem that was more pronounced in 2008 resulting in the liquidity in the global credit markets and its financial systems (Berlatsky 77). This means that there was no credit available for the investors, which adversely affects the poor countries. For the developed countries, this crisis created panic and was perceived as the most horrible in the previous years.

Starting from an extremely low base, Laos’ GDP growth rate has an average of 7 % since 1990s (Sondergaard) until the Asian currency crisis hit its economy in 1997 (“Laos Profile - Overview”). Laos then experienced a second economic crisis of its history. The national currency lost “more than nine-tenth of its value” (“Laos Profile - Overview”) and

East Asia had several problems, such as poverty and rapid population growth, during 1950-1960. Their economy was pre-industrial which many people worked on farms. The pre-industrial society consists of several characteristics, such as high birth rate and high death rate. Many young women in Asia (excluding Japan at that time) produced six births each over their reproductive span, leading a rapid population growth. However, East Asia starts to believe population growth is a threat to developmental goals.

Population growth is a problem to the Asian populations health, economy and poverty issues. The one child per family method is an option like what China implemented. Method like birth control programs are also a way to figure out population growth issues. One method that china used in the 1980s was to tell the people that increasing economic growth would help hinder population growth. I dont see how explaining the harms of over population to the public wouldn't be enough for the public to help fix this problem. Spreading awareness about contraceptives and not having such young marriages are also ways to help with this problem.

The unprecedented economic progress of a handful of East Asian economies were able to achieve in three decades, from1960’s to the 1980’s sparked the curiosity of the world as to how such an astounding feat occurred. After the Second World War, countries from both East Asia and Latin America began to industrialize and competed vigorously in the world market, however it is worthy to note that Latin American had several advantages from the very beginning. These include higher per capita income, higher level of industrialization, higher saving rates, higher education levels. Many of these East Asian countries/regions have just gained their independence (South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia) and are recovering from war, in particular Japan and South Korea. Yet in the 1980’s East Asian economies developed at a much faster pace while economic growth in Latin America was stagnant and failed to live up to its potential. This paper will address the differences in economic strategies employed, explore why Latin America failed while East Asian economies achieved remarkable progress, and if there are any worthwhile lessons that current emerging economies can if possible emulate the kind of success achieved by newly industrialized countries (NICs).

Between the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, there was a major economic development in Asia. Japan was one of the countries that had a significant economic development. Along with Japan, China was another country that also had major economic development. However during this time, the Japanese played a bigger role in industrialization and westernizing the ocuntry of Japan while the Chinese government was not as focused on industrialization and isolated themselves from western ways. After a long period ofisolationsim, China and Japan were pressured by the west to open up to foreign trade in the nineteenth century.

In 1945, Japan was devastated and lost a quarter of the national wealth after suffering a defect in the second world war. A majority of the commercial buildings and accommodation had been demolished, and massive machinery and equipment formerly used in production for the civil market were out of service to provide metal for military supplies (Miyazaki 1967). Despite the trash and ruins had left over in Japan, Japan was able to rebuilding its infrastructure and reconstruct their economy. It is revealed that the Japanese economy was on its way to recovery, which received a rapid development since the war, and the reconstruction of Japan had spent less than forty years to become the world’s second largest economy in the 1980s. This essay will explore the three factors account for the economic growth of post-war Japan: the financial assistance from the United States, the external environment, and the effective policy of Japanese government.

There is no doubt that the economy of East Asia is prospering and does not seem to slow down. The miracles that are happening in many countries in East Asia get attention from economists around the world. Thousands of articles and books try to find an explanation for this spectacular phenomenon. Back in the days, Japan was the only country in Asia that was accepted as a country with a strong and reliable economy. Many experts believe that the flying geese model is one the main reasons why East Asia is successful. Japan, as a leading goose, led other countries in Asia in a V-shape geese-flying pattern. Japan introduced older technology to following geese and moved to the newer technology as it flew forward. The following countries became

The Asian Financial Crisis, that began in the middle of 1997, was a surprise to many. It all started when Thailand had a financial crisis which ended up spreading to its neighboring Southeast Asian countries. This mass spread was largely due to the intense devaluation of currencies in Asia . The crisis caused mass capital outflows and investor flight because investors lost confidence in the financial systems in many of those countries. Although it started out being contained in Thailand, it spread to other East Asian countries and ended up impacting Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Hong Kong, and China. Consequently, the lack of investor confidence caused the international stock markets suffered from this crisis, which also impacted other countries that reside outside of the Asian continent.

In this essay we look in-depth on how government strategies and economic policy play a crucial role in the success of High Performance Asian Economies (HPAEs) during 1960 to 1990 (World Bank 1993).There are eight countries within HPAEs: South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. Its economic development has significantly rise that it was name ‘East Asia Miracle’ (World Bank, 1993).

In this essay, the author explains the essential parts of Asia’s phenomenal growth. Asia is the poster child for the saying, “slow and steady wins the race”. Asia has been growing since the early 1900s. This paper breaks down the growth of Asia into three core factors and explains which one has been the most influential on that growth. Graphs are used to highlight how certain factors, such as population age, and birth rate, affect Asian megacities. Influential aspects of the Asian culture and how they affect growth are also demonstrated. A greater understanding of what factors influence the phenomenal growth of Asia and which one has
