As Asian economies have become more connected through physical and institutional infrastructure, the region’s trade has grown and changed. Intraregional trade has increased its share, in large part through the expansion of trade in intermediate goods in connection with development of global value chains. At the same time, as part of the same process and as part of the structural transformation that underlies most economic development, the share of services in Asia’s trade has risen. Policies that support the development of regional infrastructure and the flow of goods and services, as well as factors of production, can increase the benefits from connectivity. Meanwhile, regional cooperation has a key role to play in mitigating negative impacts that may arise from the vulnerabilities that accompany greater connectivity.
