Asia Pacific economic outlook

Publish date:

Asia Pacific is the fastest growing and arguably the most important economic region in the world with most businesses, large and small, having interests there. Changes in this region are fast-paced, and Deloitte's monthly Asia Pacific economic outlook provides readers with a forward looking economic point-of-view on developments in the region. The report tracks major macroeconomic events, particularly those impacting businesses, with the intent to analyze and provide an outlook.

Countries covered include Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and ASEAN countries such as Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam. The report typically covers four countries per issue.

The Asia Pacific economic outlook report presents the latest thinking of Shalabh Kumar Singh, a member of Deloitte Research’s global economics team and public sector industry team. Shalabh's research is focused on issues that cut across public and private sector boundaries, especially applying economics to public policy and management, and bringing commercial best practices to government. His most recent book, The Public Innovator’s Playbook: Nurturing Bold Ideas in Government, was published in collaboration with Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Institute for Democratic Governance and Innovation.

Shalabh is also interested in emerging markets and the business strategies firms can adopt to overcome the critical challenges they face in these markets. His article, “The Reality for India: Folding Constraints into Business Strategy,” has appeared in the Journal of Business Strategy (Volume 30, Issue 4, 2009). An adapted version, “Necessity Breeds Opportunity: Constraints, Innovation and Competitive Advantage,” was published in Deloitte Review, January 2009.

Prior to joining Deloitte Research, Shalabh worked at National Council of Applied Economic Research. He co-authored the book Social Accounting Matrix: Concept, Construction, and Applications (Sage Publications, 2006), in addition to a number of research reports and papers.
