Summing up Growing global demand but with considerable uncertainty The region has been adjusting Inflation is under control Strong fiscal programs, but additional efforts are required Significant external adjustment has occurred Over 80% of intra-regional trade covered by 33 PTA s, but the region is not reaping the full benefits, a new approach is needed. A fully-integrated US$ 5 trillion market would yield significant gains and help the region navigate potential global trade frictions
