Regional Economic Outlook

October 13, 2023

Challenges to Sustaining Growth and Disinflation

The Asia-Pacific region remains a key driver of global growth in 2023, despite facing headwinds from changing global demand from goods to services and tighter monetary policies. The region is expected to grow by 4.6 percent in 2023, up from 3.9 percent in 2022.
