Asian Tigers

The "Asian Tigers" refers to four economically advanced regions in East Asia: Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. These areas experienced rapid industrialization and high economic growth from the 1960s to the 1990s. They transformed from primarily agrarian societies into major global economic players, focusing on export-driven policies and investment in education and technology. The term highlights their successful transition to developed economies, characterized by high GDP per capita, robust manufacturing sectors, and increasing innovation, serving as a model for other developing countries in Asia and beyond.
