This publication presents highlights of the sessions during ADBs workshop on regional cooperation and integration (RCI) on 16 and 17 April 2020. Discussions focused on relevant approaches to measuring RCI and its implications for policy assessment.

Regional cooperation and integration (RCI) is pivotal to enhancing economic growth, financial stability, and social inclusion and important for tackling poverty and enhancing institutional stability. Better RCI measures can allow researchers and policy makers to assess the costs and benefits of RCI policies in greater detail.
