Economic Indicators for South and Central Asia

This publication presents data visualization of economic statistics from South and Central Asia relevant for the analysis of cross-border production arrangements at the local, regional, and global levels. It covers Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Two companion publications focus on Eastern Asia, and Southeastern Asia and the Pacific. The statistics were computed from the Asian Development Bank's multiregional input-output database, which serves the increasing demand for structured, relevant, timely, and accurate data, especially with the onset of various economic research projects on global value chains. Supply and use tables and input-output tables in these publications address the emerging need for more systematic and comprehensive approaches in data management, economic analysis, and policy research for national economies around the world.
