Description
Reopening in the People’s Republic of China has brightened prospects. Economic activities have gradually normalized—particularly tourism—as economies across the region have stepped up their reopening. But multiple headwinds continue to weigh on the outlook, including the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and the monetary tightening in advanced economies. Asian Development Outlook April 2023 sheds light on these.
