Stephen Roach on the Next Asia: Opportunities and Challenges for a New Globalization

4.9/5 (18607 ratings)

Description:As Morgan Stanley's chief Asia specialist, getting Asia right is Stephen Roach's personal obsession, and this in-depth compilation represents more than 70 of Roach's key research efforts not just on Asia, but also on how the region fits into the broad context of increasingly globalized financial markets. The book argues that the "Asia factor" is not a static concept, but rather one that is constantly changing and evolving. Broken down into five parts–Asia's critical role in globalization; the coming rebalancing of the Chinese economy; a new pan-regional framework for integration and competition; and a frank discussion of the biggest risk to this remarkable transformation–this book will help readers understand and profit from the world's most dynamic region.In a growth-starved, post-crisis world, many have presumed that the baton of global economic leadership has already been handed off from the West to the East. The onset of the Asian Century is taken as a given. While such an outcome is entirely possible, I argue in The Next Asia that it hasn’t happened yet. A silver lining of the Great Recession of 2008-09 is that this transition may actually occur sooner rather than later – yet more by necessity than by design. The enthusiasm over Asia is certainly understandable on one key On the surface, there can be no mistaking the sheer power of the Asian growth miracle. The broad collection of economies that comprise Developing Asia expanded at an 8.3% average annual growth rate over the 2001-08 period – basically three times the 2.8% average growth pace of the rest of the global economy. Putting it another way, the extraordinary dynamism of Developing Asia added about 1.2 percentage points extra to annualized global growth over the past eight years. But here’s the critical Over this same period, Asia has continued to direct an increasing portion of its production to others. The export share of Developing Asia’s GDP rose from 35% to 45% over the past decade, whereas the share going to internal private consumption fell to a record low of 45% of pan-regional GDP in 2008. As such, the region does not satisfy the most basic pre-condition of autonomous economic leadership – an economy where production support is dependent increasingly on home markets rather than on external demand. In short, these are not the footprints of a new autonomous engine of global growth. As the shifting mix of Developing Asia’s GDP indicates, the region’s growth premium has been driven more by exports – and by the ancillary support of export-led fixed investment in infrastructure and export-producing capacity – than by internal private consumption. For now, the dreams of Asian-led global leadership are wishful thinking. Developing Asia is still more of a follower than a leader. Validation of this critical deduction comes from the unmistakable repercussions of the current global crisis. In the aftermath of a U.S.-led synchronous downturn in the developed world, every Asian economy either went immediately into recession or experienced a sharp slowdown. Asia’s ever-rising external connectivity made such an outcome inevitable. The Asia consumer – despite all the hype – wasn’t nearly strong enough to forestall this outcome. The starting point for The Next Asia is that the region’s hyper growth currently is still much more a function of external than internal demand. This is a simple, but very powerful observation. It not only offers a window into the region’s vulnerability to the massive external shock that has just hit but it also provides a diagnosis of the staying power of any recovery. But most important of all, it lays bare the recipe for an Asia that can finally stand on its own – an autonomy that can only be realized by drawing support from its own vast population of 3.5 billion people. This is the essence of The Next Asia – the daunting transition from an externally-dependent growth model to one that derives increasing support from internal private consumption. I remain optimistic that Asia is very much headed in this exciting direction. It’s just a question of when – not if. But, most assuredly, in my opinion, the “when” is not now. As is the case for almost all the opportunities of The Next Asia , the key to this transition undoubtedly lies in China. There has, of course, been considerable debate over what it will take to spur a consumer-led growth impetus in China – ultimately the key driver of The Next Asia . There is no silver bullet. Rural income support is undoubtedly critical – especially for a nation that continues to have close to 60% of its vast population residing in the countryside. So, too, is the need to develop a consumer-products industry, together with a wholesale and retail distribution and service and infrastructure. But, in my view, the main impediment to Chinese consumption remains excessive levels of precautionary saving.
