The increasingly perilous act of balancing Asia’s economies as digitalization accelerates

9 minutes

Macroeconomic management of the economy as digitalization accelerates during the COVID-19 crisis is a growing challenge for policy makers globally.

In this podcast, ADBI research fellow, John Beirne, discusses the increasing prominence of the digital economy and digital finance and how continued digitalization will affect policies aimed at managing Asia and the Pacific’s emerging market economies.

The discussion draws upon the new book, Macroeconomic Stabilization in the Digital Age, which Beirne co-edited with David G. Fernandez of the Sim Kee Boon Institute for Financial Economics at Singapore Management University.

The views in this podcast do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI).
