2 Presentation Outline Defining Inclusive Growth Fiscal policies in Asia: redistribution, incidence and subsidies Enhancing opportunities: health and education Meeting Asia s infrastructure needs: the role of the public sector 2
3 A framework for inclusive growth 3
4 Fiscal policies can improve equality of opportunity Equality of opportunities is based on the notion that institutions and economics allow everyone to fully participate in the benefits, through adequate health, education and basic infrastructure. It can coexist with high (or worsening) income inequality within countries. This is the part where the quality of fiscal expenditures is more important
5 But so is OECD s Income inequality is rising in Asia Levels in Asia still better than other regions Tables shows Gini coefficients, 1990s to 2000s. Annualized change in Gini coefficient in developing Asia 5

10 Social expenditures improve equality in Asia But not social protection, as few countries have it relative to the rest of the world. The unexpected positive effect of social protection may be due to a narrow benefit coverage and a lack of targeting to the poor for the few services and transfers that Asian countries provide.

31 Role for MDBs MDB infrastructure financing in Asia is 2.5% of current investment Without PRC and India: MDB share > 10% MDB finance for infrastructure will rise. For ADB Scale up annual loan and grant approvals from $17.5 billion in 2016 to more than $20 billion by 2020 Growing share for the private sector Blending finance with expertise and knowledge, support policy reform, promoting regional cooperation
32 Conclusions Asian governments have ample room to increase opportunities. Increasing taxes unlikely to improve income distribution better to focus on efficiency of tax collection. Expenditures on health and education support inclusive growth, but quality more than years of schooling will be key as most Asian countries join the ranks of the middleincome emerging markets. Infrastructure continues to be critical to support growth in Asia and leads to increased opportunities. Technology will change equation (examples: congestion pricing in Dhaka, biometric IDs, cashless systems, matching databases, telecommuting options) 32
