About South Asia Economic Summit

Launched in 2008, the South Asia Economic Summit (SAES) is a premier regional platform for discussing and analysing economic and development issues and challenges facing South Asian countries, and advancing the cause of regional integration and cooperation. Envisioned as a Davos-like event in South Asia, the SAES brings together stakeholders from the government, private sector, research/academic community, and civil society to generate innovative and actionable ideas for consideration by the region’s policymakers and the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).

 The whole process is led by a group of five eminent think tanks that take turns to organize the annual event in one of the SAARC countries. The think tanks are: Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), Bangladesh; Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), India; South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment (SAWTEE), Nepal; Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), Pakistan; and Institute of Policy Studies of Sri Lanka (IPS), Sri Lanka.
