Duration:  2008 - 2009

This study aims to achieve the following objectives:
    ● What are the trends on inter and intra-regional trade, FDI, and monetary flows in East Asia?
    ● What extent is East Asia vulnerable or immune to global economic shocks, especially in the United States and the European Union, given   
        that East Asia has been experiencing increasing intra-regional trade, FDI, and monetary flows.
    ●What macroeconomic adjustments should East Asia pursue in order to reduce its vulnerability to global economic shocks and help better
        manage the imbalances in the global economy.
