Engines Not Yet in Sync: A Multispeed Recovery in Asia

October 21, 2020--The Asia-Pacific region is recovering from its worst recession in living memory. Our latest Regional Economic Outlook shows that a recovery started in the third quarter, but growth engines are not all firing with the same power across countries, leading to a multispeed recovery.

Reflecting worse-than-expected outturns in the second quarter in a few countries,the IMF's forecast for the region has been downgraded to -2.2 percent in 2020-the worst outcome for this region in living memory. India’s economy experienced a much sharper than expected contraction in the second quarter-24 percent on a year-over-year basis-and is expected to recover slowly in the coming quarters. China,which suffered the pandemic's blow earlier than other countries, has seen a strong recovery after the first quarter lockdown, and growth has been revised up to 1.9 percent this year, a rare positive figure in a sea of negatives. Advanced economies (Australia, Korea, Japan and New Zealand), while still in recession, are expected to do somewhat better than expected in 2020, reflecting a faster pickup in activity following earlier exit from lockdowns.
