Structural and rural transformation in Asia and the Pacific
The Asia and Pacific (APR) region has witnessed remarkable growth in gross domestic product (GDP) in recent decades, averaging an annual 4.5 per cent in 1980-2000 and 4.4 per cent in 2000-2013, compared with 2.6 per cent and 2.0 per cent for the rest of world over these periods. This rapid growth lifted its share of global GDP from 18.1 per cent in 1980 to 27.8 per cent in 2013.
