A Background Note for the Panel Discussion at the Ministerial Conference

ADB, ADBI and CI seek to facilitate and strengthen collaboration, including cofinancing, and participation in agreed activities in connection with the priority areas of mutual interest, where relevant and feasible.

We develop an index to measure the degree of regional integration in Asia and the Pacific (48 economies in six subregions). The index comprises 26 indicators in six dimensions of regional integration, i.e., trade and investment, money and finance, regional value chains, infrastructure and connectivity, free movement of people, and institutional and social integration.
