Mr. Shang-Jin Wei, Chief Economist of the Asian Development Bank, will present and discuss the ADB’s Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2014 Report. This year's special chapter will be entitled, “Untold Sides of Asia's Poverty Story.” It argues that conventional wisdom fails to consider significant challenges of rising food insecurity, rising inequality and rising vulnerability in Asia. Once these untold sides are brought into poverty measurement, the story of an Asia free of poverty in the 2020s will have a completely different ending: poverty remains prevalent in fast growing Asia even beyond 2030.
