The near-term outlook, however, is clouded with significant uncertainty, and risks, on balance, remain slanted to the downside.

Macroeconomic policies should continue to support growth while boosting resilience, external rebalancing, and inclusiveness. The region needs structural reforms to address its demographic challenges and to boost productivity.
