Asia is playing an integral role in the Global GDP: OECD Report
New Delhi, July 11 (UNI) The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) has highlighted the growing Asian economy behind driving the global Gross Domestic Product or GDP to a major extent. The OECD is a global organization that aims to promote policies for economic and social well-being across the world. Reportedly, the Asian economy contributes to almost 31% of the Global GDP, and the vibrant region is home to approximately 55% of the world's premier companies. Asia is playing a great role in public equity markets, especially for the growth-hungry companies. While other major areas of the Asian capital markets remain underdeveloped and struggling to join the mainstream economic line. Despite the fueled market-based financing in the Asian region, corporate financing in multiple Asian countries is still linked to banks, with a high share of credit value to the banks.
