IMF Working paper-Future of Asia's Finance: How Can it Meet Challenges of Demographic Change and Infrastructure Needs?

July 16, 2014--Summary: There is a role for Asia's financial sector to play to address the challenges associated with the region's changing demographics and infrastructure investment needs. Enhancing financial innovation and integration in the region could facilitate intra-regional financial flows and mobilize resources from the aging savers in industrialized Asia to finance infrastructure investment in emerging Asia.

Strengthening the financial ties within the region as well as with the global financial markets alongside appropriate prudential frameworks could also help diversify sources of financing and reduce the cost of funding in emerging Asia. Finally, financial deepening could help ease the potential overheating from scaling up infrastructure investment and hence achieve a more balanced growth in the region.

World Bank-Taking Stock: An Update on Vietnam's Recent Economic Developments (July 2014)-Key Findings

July 8, 2014-- Global growth is projected to pick up to 3.4% in 2015 and 3.5% in 2016, propelled by high-income countries. Developing countries will benefit from these tailwinds, with growth projected to increase from 4.8% in 2014 to 5.5% in 2016.
Regional gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to slow down slightly to 7.0% by 2016, about 2 percentage points slower than the pre-crisis boom years but broadly in line with potential.

Improved global conditions and soft domestic demand have allowed Vietnam to further consolidate gains in macroeconomic stability. Headline inflation fell from a peak of 23% in August 2011 to about 5% in June 2014.
A widening fiscal deficit, however, presents growing macro challenges. The fiscal deficit target of 4.8% of GDP was overshot by 0.5 percentage points in 2013, with a similar outcome expected in 2014. The public debt situation remains sustainable nonetheless, albeit susceptible to systemic shocks.
