Asia was relatively rich in the ancient times. China and India alternated as the largest economies in the world from 1 A.D to about 1800 A.D. China was a major economic power and attracted many to the East, and for many the legendary wealth and prosperity of the ancient culture of India personified South Asia, attracting European commerce, exploration and colonialism.

Asia is the largest continent in the world by a considerable margin, and it is rich in natural resources, such as petroleum and forests. As in all world regions, the wealth of Asia differs widely between, and within, states. This is due to its vast size, meaning a huge range of differing cultures, environments, historical ties and government systems. The largest economies in Asia in terms of nominal GDP are Japan, China and India. Economies range from Japan, as the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP, to Cambodia as one of the poorest.
