Creative Productivity Index: Analysing Creativity and Innovation in Asia

This report presents the results and analysis of the Creative Productivity Index (CPI) for a select number of Asian economies. The CPI was built by The Economist Intelligence Unit. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) commissioned the work on developing the CPI as part of an overall study on Asia’s knowledge economies. The report provides a benchmarking of a number of economies in Asia on creative productivity, an important attribute for strengthening knowledge-based economic development. This index gives policy makers a unique tool to assess how to foster creativity and innovation in Asia. Innovation-led growth is crucial for developing Asia to maintain and accelerate the pace of growth of its economies.
