DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe sustainable supply of minerals which are non-renewable is of much concern for countries in the Asian & Pacific region & they have taken steps to reorient their national policies on mineral resource development. This publication highlights the need for new policy orientation & initiatives for mineral resource development, especially if foreign direct investment flows are to be harnessed. It focuses on two main areas: the background to the formulation of mineral policies that would be compatible with the efforts of countries to adopt market-oriented economic policies with a shift from centrally controlled economies; & the present status of mineral resource development in selected countries of the Asian & the Pacific region.
