                    [Summary] => Major obstacles block Asia’s prospects of becoming a common market, but a region-wide free trade area is a realistic goal, an Asian Development Bank (ADB) official said.


The Manila-based lender said 183 free trade agreements have either been signed or are being proposed or negotiated across Asia, where the share of intra-regional trade has risen to about 55 percent last year from some 40 percent in the early 1990s.

The Manila-based ADB said individual performances are likely to vary significantly, with China to slow to slightly below nine percent after estimated 9.3 percent growth in 2005. 


Excluding China, emerging East Asia is expected to post average growth of 5.3 percent in 2006, up from 4.6 percent this year.
