- Developing Asia set to expand 4.9% this year and in 2025: ADB
- China growth to slow over next two years amid property malaise
Much of developing Asia outside of China is poised for expansion in the next two years as consumer demand remains strong and inflation eases, according to the Asian Development Bank.
The region’s economy is set to grow at a 4.9% pace this year and in 2025, according to the group’s annual outlook. Inflation is seen easing slightly to 3.2% this year and 3% in 2025 from an estimated 3.3% last year. Growth is set to slow in China, though, as the real estate sector and domestic demand remain weak, according to the report.
