This publication discusses lessons learned from and achievements of
the Integrated Disaster Risk Management (IDRM) Fund in supporting
ADB technical assistance projects in Southeast Asian developing
member countries. The Government of Canada and ADB established the
IDRM Fund in February 2013 to advance proactive integrated disaster
risk management measures on a regional basis in Cambodia,
Indonesia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, the
Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. The IDRM Fund funded 19
technical assistance projects with a gender-focused approach to
IDRM and reflecting regional solutions that produce cross-border
disaster management.
The Asian financial landscape has become more interconnected over
the past 2 decades. Previous financial crises have proven how
volatility can transmit rapidly across an interconnected financial
network. Moreover, empirical analyses have shown how it can
reverberate across the macroeconomy. With a summary of lessons from
past financial crises, this report also analyzes the impact of
deeper financial integration on economic vulnerability.
