SPECIAL CHAPTER:
Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2012
Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2012, the 43rd edition of this series, is a statistical data book
presenting economic, financial, social, and environmental indicators for the 48 regional members of the
Asian Development Bank (ADB). This issue of Key Indicators presents in Part I a special chapter—Green
Urbanization in Asia—followed by statistical tables in Parts II and III with short, nontechnical
commentaries on economic, financial, social, and environmental developments.
Part II comprises the first set of statistical tables and commentaries, which look at the Millennium
Development Goals and progress in the region toward achieving key targets. The second set of tables in
Part III is grouped into seven themes, and provides a broader picture of economic, financial, social, and
environmental developments. This publication aims to present the latest key statistics on development
issues concerning the economies of Asia and the Pacific to a wide audience, including policy makers,
development practitioners, government officials, researchers, students, and the general public. This year,
ADB also publishes the second edition of the Framework of Inclusive Growth Indicators, a special
supplement to Key Indicators.
