IMF-Asia's Growth and Inflation Outlook Improves, but Risks Remain

April 29, 2024--The regional outlook has strengthened as price pressures have moderated, although China's property market correction and geoeconomic fragmentation remain key risks.
The outlook for Asia and the Pacific in 2024 has brightened: we now expect that the region's economy will slow less than we previously projected as inflation pressures continue to dissipate.

We have raised our regional growth forecast for this year to 4.5 percent, up 0.3 percentage point from six months earlier, after a 5 percent expansion in 2023. The revision reflects upgrades for China, where we expect policy stimulus to provide support, and India, where public investment remains an important driver, making it the world's fastest-growing major economy. In a still subdued external environment, robust private consumption will remain the main growth driver in Asia’s other emerging market economies. The Asia growth forecast for 2025 is unchanged at 4.3 percent.
