A chapter in Impact Investment Funds for Frontier Markets in Southeast Asia, 2015, pp 1-5 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Asia is home to some of the world’s busiest trade routes and manufacturing centers, as well as over half the world’s population. The next billion consumers in the global economy will be mostly in Asia, and the spending of its middle class is bound to rise in the next 20 years from about US$4 trillion to more than US$30 trillion, or about 42 percent of worldwide consumer spending. Many developed countries are looking toward Asia for buyers of their exports, and to establish factories and other commercial operations.1 The economic significance of the continent is undoubted.
