4  BIS central bankers’ speeches  Concluding remarks Compared with European countries, Asian countries are much more diverse in terms of their economic and social makeup, so that the challenges of managing the economy vary significantly. At the same time, however, Asian economies face challenges similar to those of other economies, including the advanced economies.
Therefore, active discussion in the region to share the experience and wisdom in Asian economies can also be beneficial to other regions. Asian countries can make a substantial contribution to the global economy not only by achieving sustainable growth that balances both domestic and external demand, but also by playing an active role in discussions toward global challenges. Thank you for your attention.
