Achieving Sustainable Growth in East Asia
The studies in this volume address the major causes of the build-up of current account surpluses in the East Asian region, commonly referred to as the problem of "global imbalances". We note that the external surpluses are matched by domestic imbalances of savings and investment. There are broadly two types of policies available to the countries on the surplus side of the global imbalances - changes to the domestic economy to give different savings-investment outcomes and changes to relative prices between home-produced and foreign-produced good. Adjustment cannot and should not, however, come only from one side of the imbalance equation. We do not explicitly address the policies that might help the deficit side but look at the policies that would benefit both the Asian surplus economies themselves and help address global imbalances.
