As the world grapples with supply chain disruptions brought about by the pandemic, the Asian Infrastructure Finance 2021 report, Sustaining Global Value Chains, examines how Asian economies, to different extents and in different ways, have integrated global value chains (GVCs) into their growth models. The report highlights how green infrastructure, consistent with net zero transition, will become a source of competitive advantage and the key to sustaining future GVCs.
At this event, Alicia Garcia-Herrero engaged with Erik Berglöf, the Chief Economist of AIIB to talk about the conclusions of the report.
