Economic Forecasts for Asia and the Pacific: July 2024
Growth in developing Asia accelerated in the first quarter of 2024 on resilient domestic demand and strong export growth, particularly in electronics. The region’s growth forecast for 2024 is increased slightly to 5.0%, while the 2025 projection is maintained at 4.9%. Headline inflation in developing Asia is now forecast to ease further from 3.3% last year to 2.9% this year, stabilizing at 3.0% in 2025.
Interest rates in the United States and other advanced economies continue to shape the outlook, which is subject to several downside risks. Uncertainty on the United States election outcome, elevated geopolitical tensions and trade fragmentation, property market fragility in the People’s Republic of China, and weather-related events could hurt growth. Meanwhile, La Niña is an upside risk due to expected higher rainfall and cooler temperatures.
Economic and Social Statistics: Asia and the Pacific
ADB acknowledges the need for reliable, timely, granular, and integrated data, as well as innovative ways to produce them, to guide economic and social development to ensure that nobody is left behind. To aid in evidence-based policymaking, ADB produces key knowledge resources and partners with statistics agencies in Asia and the Pacific to improve the region's capability to produce effective statistics.
ADB Corporate Data
Data on ADB's operations, projects, project results and performance, internal administration, and financial management; including cofinancing partnerships and climate financing.
Financing Infrastructure
Hefty infrastructure needs of $26 trillion from 2016-2030 means Asia and the Pacific needs to find new ways to attract investment. These could include more private financing, infrastructure bonds, or capturing the value of higher land prices.
