亚开行-致力于太平洋地区的可持续经济发展：2023年亚洲智库论坛论文集（英）-2024-57页_1mb

The Asian Think Tank Forum 2023 Proceedings report emphasizes the urgent need for Pacific island economies to enhance resilience and achieve sustainable development. Key challenges include geographic isolation, high transportation costs, vulnerability to climate change, and limited economic diversification. Policymakers and researchers stress the importance of diversified economies, better infrastructure, digitalization, climate financing, and stronger regional cooperation. The forum highlighted that while COVID-19 exacerbated existing vulnerabilities, new growth drivers must emerge beyond tourism, such as through agro-processing, business process outsourcing, and technology sectors, while addressing labor migration issues. Enhanced regional integration, improved access to finance, and investment in climate-proof infrastructure are also critical for long-term stability.
