Abstract Asia has achieved remarkable economic progress over the past fifty years but now faces shorter-term growth risks and some fundamental issues, including challenges to trade-led growth, slowing potential growth on account of population aging as well as declining productivity growth, and even the rise of the digital economy. What can policymakers do to meet these challenges and keep Asia at the forefront of the global economy?
