The latest data show that the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) and India account for almost twothirds of the regions road network.
Vehicle ownership has surged. Thirteen economies have at least 100 vehicles per thousand people.
Deaths from road accidents are high in some developing member economies.
As demand and production for electricity expanded, several major power producing economies have
increased their reliance on coal to generate electricity since 1990.
Cellular phone subscriptions showed huge growth, while fixed-line phones increased more moderately
and fell in some economies.
Many developing economies in the region still have low rates of penetration of fixed broadband
internet subscriptions.
Key trends
Road networks have expanded rapidly since 1990.
Roads provide access to employment, markets,
education, and health services, and thus are crucial
for economic development. Road networks have been
growing at an average annual rate of about 1%6%
since the 1990s in many of the economies with data
for this period (Figure 5.1). Afghanistan and the Lao
Peoples Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) extended their
road networks significantly in the latest year for which
data are availableby 12% for Afghanistan in 2006 and
13% for the Lao PDR in 2009.
