Asian Development Review

The Asian Development Bank has published the Asian Development Review, volume 28.This review is basically focused on how poverty should be dealt and how complex it is to work with the poor people. It has following topics and each of them deliberately discuss how the Asian development paradigm is shifting and what is playing the major role for this happening. 

=> Poverty and Redistribution in Emerging Economies

=> South–South FDI and Development in East Asia

=> Forecasting Volatility in Asian Stock Markets:
Contributions of Local, Regional, and Global Factors

=> Remittances and Household Expenditure Patterns in Tajikistan:
A Propensity Score Matching Analysis

=> Industrial Deepening in Malaysia: Policy Lessons
for Developing Countries

=> The Global Financial Crisis and Resilience
of the Thai Banking Sector

=> Does East Asian Integration Keep up with the European Pattern?
Empirical Evidence from Intra-Industry Trade in Europe
and East Asia

Nepal is one of the highly prioritized country as per the ADB policy and this review accommodates many aspects of Nepal. In each topic there is a rigorous discussion on how the development is taking path in the Asian countries. The most interesting chapter for me is “Does East Asian Integration Keep with the European Pattern”.
