OECD Development Centre
Growth in Emerging Asia (Southeast Asia, China and India) is expected to moderate over the medium term but still remain robust, backed by solid macroeconomic fundamentals and domestic demand. GDP growth in the region is forecast to average 6.2% per year over 2016-20. However, several downside risks require careful attention.
