It marked the ninth year for the assessment of the competitiveness of Asian economies by Boao Forum for Asia(BFA). In addition to dynamic evaluation and ranking of the comprehensive competitiveness of major Asian economies,the report also offers analysis on the specific competitiveness of each economy,their advantages and disadvantages,and dynamic evolution,in terms of commercial and administrative efficiency,infrastructure,overall economic vitality,social development,human capital and innovation capability. A look at the competitiveness ranking over the past 9 years shows that,amid the continuous progress of economic integration,Asian economies have begun to enjoy huge integration dividends; the growth of the Asian economy and the improvement of Asia's competitiveness have,on the whole,shown a good momentum for steady progress; the stability and resilience of the economic and social development of all economies have demonstrated steady improvement; and the competitiveness gap between them is narrowing,so is the gap between developed and developing economies in Asia. Hopefully,the report will contribute to increasing core competitiveness,greater efforts for common action and development among Asian economies,and the building of a community of shared future for mankind.
