Developing Asia’s exports are levelling off above prepandemic levels
Rising demand for electronics, mechanical machinery, and vehicles strengthened the rebound in developing Asia’s exports. The first phase of the export recovery was driven by surging demand for goods to tackle the pandemic, such as face masks and COVID-19 test kits. An upturn in exports of electronics, mechanical machinery, and vehicles has also contributed to the overall rebound since the last quarter of 2020.
