THE FUTURE OF ASIAN INFORMATION: 1st Asian Information Meeting Hong Kong, 27–30 September 1995

Abstract

The first Asian Information Meeting was held this autumn in Hong Kong, as a response to the rapid economic growth of the South East Asian region in recent years. Chairman David Raitt said that between now and the end of the decade, Asia as a whole will account for half the growth in world trade, and much of that growth will come from intra‐Asia trading. Asia is a region of social stability, flexible social and economic policies, and a well‐educated labour force, and by the next century will have a consumer market of over one billion people. It is also a region renowned for its advances in technical innovation.
