The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused trade disruptions, a drop in foreign direct investments, and scarring effects on poverty, education, and women in many nations.
At the same time, COVID-19 has boosted digitalization, notably in information and communication technology (ICT). The adoption of ICT has boosted economic growth. Maintaining the competitiveness of international production networks and using digitalization are essential to the region’s future post-COVID-19.
This book details the development blueprint the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) has drawn up for the region. The plan addresses urgent concerns and discusses economic growth and social problem-solving from the viewpoints of integration, innovation, inclusiveness, and sustainability.
