IMF Executive Board Concludes 2019 Article IV Consultation with India

December 23, 2019--On November 25, 2019, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation [1] with India. The staff report and the macroeconomic projections are based on data available through October 16, 2019.
India has been among the fastest-growing economies in the world over the past few years, lifting millions out of poverty. However, growth slowed to 5.0 percent in the April-June 2019 quarter (y/y), a six-year low.

The deceleration of consumption and investment was exacerbated by weaknesses in the non-bank financial sector and corporate and environmental regulatory uncertainty. Weak demand in conjunction with continued low food prices-thanks to successive normal monsoon rainfall and agricultural sector reforms-caused average inflation to moderate to a multi-year low of 3.4 percent in FY2018/19. Through August, inflation remained below the mid-point of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s medium-term inflation target band of 4 percent ± 2 percent.

China Economic Update-December 2019

December 19, 2019--Key messages
China's economy is slowing, reflecting both cyclical factors and longer-term structural trends.
Growth is estimated to decelerate to 6.1 percent in 2019, amid cooling domestic and external demand, and other external factors.
A more accommodative policy stance has helped to mitigate some of these effects.

Growth is projected to moderate further to 5.9 percent in 2020, and 5.8 percent in 2021, reflecting the deeper structural trends-declining returns to public investment, growing debt and rapid aging.

Notwithstanding the recent conclusion of the phase one agreement between China and the United States, short-term risks remain tilted to the downside amid a fragile global outlook and the lingering impact of trade tensions.

Domestically, growth may suffer from the potential adverse effects of financial de-risking, given its asymmetric impact on private sector financing and the risk of a disorderly unwinding of excessive leverage.

Vietnam's Economy Expanded by 6.8 Percent in 2019 but Reforms are Needed to Unleash the Potential of Capital Markets

December 17, 2019-Vietnam's economy has performed well in 2019, with GDP expanding by an estimated 6.8 percent, public debt reduced by almost 8 percentage point of GDP since 2016, and a trade balance surplus for the fourth year in a row. These results are remarkable in the context of a slowing global economy.

The latest Taking Stock, the World Bank's bi-annual economic report on Vietnam released today, emphasizes the resilience of the Vietnamese economy. GDP growth has continued to be driven by a strong external sector with exports expanding by about 8 percent in 2019-nearly 4 times faster than the world average. The country has also remained an attractive destination for foreign investors, with foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows averaging US$3 billion per month. In addition, private consumption has emerged as an important contributor to GDP growth as the result of an expanding middle-income class and rising wages. Private firms also increased investment by 17 percent during the same period.
