Economic Indicators for Southeastern Asia and the Pacific

Book excerpt: This publication presents data visualization of economic statistics from Southeastern Asia and the Pacific relevant for the analysis of cross-border production arrangements at the local, regional, and global levels. Two companion publications focus on South and Central Asia, and Eastern Asia. The statistics were computed from the Asian Development Bank's multiregional input–output database, which serves the increasing demand for structured, relevant, timely, and accurate data, especially with the onset of various economic research projects on global value chains. Supply and use tables and input–output tables in these publications address the emerging need for more systematic and comprehensive approaches in data management, economic analysis, and policy research for national economies around the world.
