Description
The HSBC Bank Canada Papers on Asia series was begun in 1995 to examine Canada’s relationship with the East Asian economies and to reduce the information barriers resulting from distance and unfamiliarity in these markets. Six years on from the inception of the series, much has changed in the international environment. The Asian economies suffered a significant crash, a rapid rebound, only to slow again in 2000-2001. This, the sixth and last volume in the series, looks to the future. The volume focuses on key issues facing the region that corporations and governments should understand, including East Asian regionalization initiatives, obstacles to continued rapid growth in China, ageing and pension reform, and the changing security environment. In addition, the Canadian business performance six years on is re-evaluated.
