Medium-term economic outlook for Emerging Asia: Prospects and assessments
OECD Development Centre
The economic outlook in Emerging Asia (Southeast Asia, China and India) remains robust over the medium term, anchored by the steady rise in domestic demand. In particular, real GDP growth in the Southeast Asian region will remain robust in the medium term, growing at a pace which is comparable to the pre-global financial crisis period. Growth in domestic demand, particularly private consumption and investment, will be the main driver of growth in most countries. Current account surpluses will remain relatively stable as shares of GDP in the region. Growth will be less reliant on net exports than in the past. In the near term, while downside risks to growth remain, particularly from financial volatility and capital flows, Emerging Asian economies will weather this as underlying fundamentals are resilient.
