Asia is in the midst of a truly historic transformation. If it continues to grow on its recent trajectory, it could, by 2050, account for more than half of global GDP, trade and investment, and enjoy widespread affluence.

This study, Asia 2050: Realizing the Asian Century, is aimed at key opinion makers
