BANGKOK， Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) 2017 Report released on Thursday (Jan 19) revealed that East and South Asia is set to become 2017's main engine for global growth as the world economy is still recovering from the Great Recession of 2009.
The year 2016 was also the slowest since 2009 as gross product grew by just 2.2 percent.
However， WESP said global growth is projected to see a moderate improvement to 2.7 percent in 2017 and 2.9 percent in 2018， with an emphasis on economic stabilization than a signal of a robust revival of global demand.
Against this backdrop， East and South Asia will continue to grow more rapidly than other regions.
Regional GDP is estimated to have expanded by 5.7 per cent in 2016. Supported by robust consumption， a moderate pickup in investment and accommodative macroeconomic policies， annual growth is set to reach 5.9 percent in 2017-18.
East Asia and South Asia's economy is estimated to have grown by 5.5 percent in 2016， with a marginal pickup to 5.6 percent projected for both 2017 and 2018.
Private consumption and public investment continue to drive growth.
However， the sub region's export growth remained exceptionally weak in 2016.
This has negatively affected consumer sentiment， resulting in weaker household spending in several economies. While overall fiscal balances have recently worsened in some countries， the relatively low public debt levels mean that there is still room for fiscal expansion. There are encouraging signs that the sub region will emerge from the two-year stretch of
producer-price deflation.
Meanwhile， China's stable output growth in 2016 has alleviated near-term concerns of a sharp growth slowdown， on the back of favorable domestic demand and supportive fiscal measures， the WESP stated that the Chinese economy is projected to grow by 6.5 percent in 2017-2018， down slightly from the estimated 6.6 percent in 2016.
Jose Antonio Pedrosa-Garcia， the Economic Affairs Officer of the UNESCAP， attributed China's slowdown of growth to the government's "structural transformation scheme，" leading to deceleration to suit domestic consumption at home.
"After the 2009 financial crisis， China began to accelerate its economic rebalancing by shifting the drivers of growth from manufacturing and exports toward goods and services for domestic consumption，" said Jose， "the Chinese Government's main priority now is to meet growing domestic consumers' diverse demands， therefore the industries closely connected to those demands that are quickly expanding."
However， Jose also expressed optimism on China's economic potential recovery.
The WESP also stated that South Asia's growth is projected to remain vigorous， further accelerating to 6.9 percent in 2017 and 2018， from 6.7 percent in 2016.
India has positioned itself as one of the most dynamic emerging economies.
Growth is projected to reach 7.7 percent in 2017 and 7.6 percent in 2018. Amid strong private consumption， investment demand is expected to pick up slightly， supported by monetary easing， government efforts towards
infra-structure investments and public-private partnerships and domestic reforms.
By 1956 Samaje Perine Womens Jersey , the city of Los Angeles had outgrown the small Griffith Park Zoo. The citizens passed a $6.6 million bond measure to help build a new one and a 113-acre site in Griffith Park was chosen as the new location. In 1964 a private, nonprofit organization was created to support the new facility. The zoo then began raising money and acquiring animals
When the Los Angeles Zoo opened in 1966 it was the 4th zoo to serve the city. The Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA) had already graduated a class of trained, volunteer docents and had produced several issues of a quarterly magazine called Zoo View. Some 80 Fabian Moreau Womens Jersey ,000 Angelenos attended the November opening of the Los Angeles Zoo (also in attendance was an alligator named Methuselah, who is still a resident of the zoo today).
In 1967 the zoo acquired 3 endangered Arabian Oryx for $75,000. The Los Angeles Zoo cooperated with the only other American zoo to house Oryx Ryan Anderson Womens Jersey , the Phoenix Zoo, to successfully bred the gazelle-like animals, which were facing extinction in the wild. Today descendants of those animals have been reintroduced to the wild in Israel Jonathan Allen Womens Jersey , and other descendants of that original L.A. Zoo herd live on at the zoo.
The Los Angeles Zoo's 1st Beastly Ball was held in 1970. This safari-themed dinner-dance is an important fundraiser for the Zoo, but only the visitors get to eat; in the interest of health and safety, the L.A. Zoo was the 1st major zoo in the United States to prohibit visitors from feeding the animals Derrius Guice Womens Jersey , and maintains the policy today.
The Los Angeles Zoo became an accredited member of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) in 1972. Just 2 years later Dr. Warren D. Thomas became Zoo Director.
Thomas assembled one of the world's most respected animal collections during his 17-year tenure. The zoo acquired rare and endangered species, including the Sumatran Rhino, the Jentink's and Zebra duikers Da'Ron Payne Womens Jersey , yellow-footed rock wallabies, giant elands, gerenuks Preston Smith Jersey , emperor tamarins, and bongos. The Andrew Norman Education Center, the ZooMobile Brandon Scherff Jersey , Wolf Woods and Monkey Island, were all built in the Thomas-era1970's, as were new exhibits for gorillas Montae Nicholson Jersey , orangutans and flamingos,
In the 1980's the Zoo became part of the new California Condor Recovery Program. In 1982 the Zoo built the extensive "condorminiums," which are still considered among the finest and largest facilities in the condor recovery program. In1982 the Ahmanson Koala House was opened. Currently the Los Angeles Zoo the only zoo in the world to exhibit these nocturnal animals in a darkened setting.
