The Asian Development Outlook is ADB’s flagship economic publication, offering comprehensive analysis of macroeconomic developments and trends across the Asia-Pacific region. The 2025 edition of the report places special emphasis on regional cooperation and its impact on sustainable growth.
The event was officially opened by Dr. Azizbek Marakhimov, Vice-Rector of New Uzbekistan University, and Ms. Kanokpan Lao-Araya, ADB Country Director for Uzbekistan. In their opening remarks, both emphasized the importance of informed policymaking, evidence-based planning, and the need for enhanced cooperation between development institutions and academic communities.
Following the opening, ADB Regional Cooperation Specialist Begzod Jalilov delivered a detailed presentation highlighting the role of regional collaboration in promoting inclusive economic development, improving infrastructure, and fostering innovation across Central Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. He also provided insights into Uzbekistan’s recent economic performance and discussed prospects for growth in key sectors.
The event concluded with a lively Q&A session, allowing students, faculty, and invited guests to engage directly with ADB experts on current economic challenges and opportunities for Uzbekistan and the region.
