18 March 2021

Green growth could generate around 30 million new jobs in Southeast Asia, which would be crucial in the region’s recovery, reports Business Mirror, citing data from the Asian Development Bank. ADB said shoring up government revenues is essential to create green growth opportunities that could pave the way for a strong and sustainable recovery. ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa said domestic funds are crucial in the recovery. Asakawa added that maximizing the use of big data can be used to transform key government sectors such as health care, social protection, and education, allowing for more effective service delivery. “Governments and the private sector can also leverage big data for better supply chain management across Southeast Asia,” Asakawa said.
