In 2008，the rising prices of food and energy on international markets，as well as the subprime mortgage crisis in the U.S，dragged down the Asian export growth. At the meantime，high inflation undermined economic growth in Asia. However，prompted by the strong internal demand in Asia，and engined by growth from China and India，Asian economies will grow but with uncertainty. Regional growth rate will be 7.5% in 2008，obviously lower than the growth rate of 9.0% in 2007. In 2009，within the situation of international financial market fluctuation and international petroleum price keeping high，growth rate in Asian will further slow down to 7.2%.
