Abstract
Asia is the fastest growing continent today. LDCs in Asia grew the fastest of all groups of countries at 7.4 per cent in 1992–93. This continent contains the second, third and fourth largest economies of the world reckoned on the basis of purchasing power parity GDP. It has also within it the best performing economies of the world (see Table 5.9). Simultaneously, it possesses a very high potential of economic growth with nearly half of the world’s population and an abundant supply of relatively cheap but literate labour.
