Raymond Mallon I am an Australian freelance economist/economic consultant with more than two decades experience working on -- and learning about -- economic development and regulatory reform issues in Asia and the Pacific. Following resource economics consulting experience in Australia and Asia, I worked as an Economist at ADB in Manila (1988-91), as Senior Economist for UNDP-Hanoi (1991-93), and as a World Bank Senior Policy Advisor (1993-95) at Viet Nam's (former) State Planning Committee (now MPI). I have been based in Viet Nam since 1991. Regular clients include multilateral institutions (ADB, UN and World Bank), government agencies, and research institutes. I provide practical advice on regulatory reform, private sector development, budget support, program formulation and evaluation, and strategic planning (at national, sector and program levels). During this time I have had the opportunity to establish contacts with development personnel in Asia and the Pacific. As indicated in my cv, I have successful experience as Team Leader managing multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary teams I am learning why some countries succeed in achieving development goals while others are less successful. I have a particular interest in the role of businesses and the private sector in development processes, and the impacts that Government policy and public investment decisions have on business investment and economic growth. Working in Asia, I have witnessed the growing importance of regional economic linkages and the opportunities these provide for developing countries to "catch-up" in technology, productivity and living standards.
Country experience: Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Caribbean, China, Egypt, Fiji, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Viet Nam.
