The Continent of Asia has recorded an unprecedented economic growth and performance during the last four decades, thus making a seismic and paradigm shift of global growth towards Asia. It is often being stated that the economic centre of gravity is inexorably moving towards Asia from the conventional and traditional growth centres of North America and Europe.
