AB <p>Following the earlier studies of the secretariat on economic restructuring, this study on “Industrial restructuring in Asia and the Pacific, in particular with a view to strengthening regional co-operation” has been prepared for consideration by the Commission at its forty-seventh session, to be held at Seoul in April 1991. While offering a comprehensive and critical assessment of the industrial restructuring process in the Asian and Pacific economies, the study suggests inter alia various measures for strengthening regional co-operation in order to facilitate that process in the ESCAP region.</p>
<p>The changing global and regional economic situations, including macroeconomic imbalances, have had significant influence on the direction, speed, and extent of industrial restructuring in the region. Although several important events have led to increasing economic interdependence and integration in the region, certain developments, including the stalemate in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the Middle East crisis, and the tendency towards formation of regional blocs, are posing new threats and challenges to industrialization in the Asian and Pacific region. Despite these developments, it is expected that the economies of the region will demonstrate satisfactory industrial performance in the decade of the 1990s. Along with a gradual progression towards higher value-added products with technology-intensive and skill-intensive manufacturing activities, certain economies of the region will achieve notable success in improving the competitiveness of their manufactured products. However, several other economies of the region have yet to achieve any significant industrial restructuring and structural changes in manufacturing and improve their industrial efficiency. They have also failed to benefit from the general dynamism seen in the region during the last two decades. The study, after careful review of the industrial performance of those economies, highlights critical areas of concern and suggests certain policy measures of urgency.</p>
<p>Despite varying degrees of success in achieving industrial progress in most of the economies of the region, the need for improving domestic as well as international competitiveness has appeared as a key concern in fostering industrial restructuring and structural change. In this context, irrespective of the success or failure of particular industrialization strategies, the Governments of all the economies of the region have played an important role in the industrial restructuring process. While more dynamic economies are developing mechanisms with varying degrees of government participation, the weaker economies continue to rely on direct support and assistance to accelerate the pace of their industrial development.</p>
<p>The rapid changes in technology and national capability to adopt such changes have greatly affected the pace and extent of industrial restructuring of the economies in the region. As the policies and strategies necessary to improve the process of technology transfer, adaptation, and diffusion constitute important elements in industrial restructuring, they are treated extensively in the study. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that without adequate human resources development, new technology would be less effective in enabling the developing countries to achieve any meaningful industrial restructuring.</p>
