Conclusions and recommendations

Chapters V-VIII have provided an analysis of the situation in the ESCAP region with regard to the mobilization of financial resources for development. These chapters contain a large number of suggestions for further action by governments and the international community as well as by the private sector. The key ideas behind these recommendations relating to the major areas of concern are summarized briefly below.
