But as advanced economies’ access to these metals is becoming increasing critical, supply security concerns are increasing: production of critical metals is concentrated in a small number of locations, while geopolitical tensions are rising.  The race to produce and acquire these minerals is boosting investment in Asia-Pacific, changing the relationship between the region and the global economy.
