What issues does the Council address?
The overarching issue we address is the continued economic development and competitiveness of the region. One of the greatest values the Council provides both for our members and the public is the comparative perspective across the region. Asia is a vast continent with great differences as well as commonalities. The Asia Business Council seeks common ground while facilitating a greater understanding and appreciation of the differences on key issues affecting the region Within that, the Council takes on yearly themes that assist our members in understanding the changes brought about by globalization, the continuing integration of Asia’s economy, and the role of the private sector as a change agent.
