《博鰲亞洲論壇新興經濟體發展2009年度報告(英文版)》內容簡介：Considering that the world economic situation and the balance of power have undergone a significantchange, the Boao Forum for Asia this year releases, for the first time, a report on emerging economies —— TheDevelopment of Emerging Economies 2009.

The Boao Forum for Asia has chosen to release such a report on the development of emergingeconomies mainly for the following considerations. First, emerging economies have become very importantin the current global economic system and will become more and more important as time passes, which isindicated by the institutionalizing of the G20 and its increasingly outstanding role in the global governanceframework. Second, quite a number of the Boao Forum members are emerging economies. Third, as host ofthe Boao Forum, China itself is a very important emerging economy. Last but not least, it should be knownthat the relationship between emerging economies and developed economies in the future will largely definethe direction of the world's economic development. Recognizing this trend will be conducive to pushingcooperation among Asia Pacific regions, especially the Boao Forum member economies.

This report, for the first time, studied the emerging economies as a whole, and it selectedll emergingeconomies, which are the majority of representatives in the G20, as subjects for study, and for the first time putforward the concept of the "Ell" （ll emerging economies）, so that the study of emerging economies couldtarget a relatively constant scope and body of subjects. Of course, the Ell is a changeable and open concept,subject to change in accordance with the change in the international situation.

This report, through systematically examining the conditions and trends of the economic operation ofthe E11 and their global cooperation over the past decade, especially their performance and contributoryrole in the global financial crisis, for the first time summarizes the important role of emerging economies inthe world economy and provides its outlook of future of the development of the Ell. It would undoubtedlybe very constructive in helping people better understand the development of emerging economies and inpushing international cooperation among themselves, especially among emerging economies and vast otherdeveloping countries, and all over the world.

We sincerely thank all the friends who have contributed to the compiling of this report. We welcome andhope for any readers' opinions and feedback so that we can improve in the future.
