As Shenzhen prepares to host the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting this November, former ADB lead economist Jayant Menon reflects on how open regionalism has helped drive growth across the Asia-Pacific.
From ASEAN and RCEP to China’s long-standing support for APEC, Menon says cooperation, openness and continued engagement remain important as the region faces new challenges.

Utterly devastating in every sense. Now we know why @netanyahu has banned foreign media from Gaza.. he has destroyed it.
It’s estimated Gaza had as much, likely more, explosives dropped on it as Dresden, Hamburg and London in WW2. Little wonder it looks like this. Not filmed with anything fancy, just an iPhone through a window. There’s no avoiding the scale of destruction. itv.com/news/2025-08-04/aeri…

Great to see you on CNN Jayant! Found your insights on the impact of US tariffs on India very informative. Agree that counties will push back, especially a large economy like India.

The US and China have struck a complicated deal to de-escalate a soaring tariff face off that had nations on the edge.
So will the agreement reverse fears of a global recession?
