Summary of developments

• Economic developments in Asia have been positive so far in 2007.
• Growth has been stronger (and in many cases more balanced) than expected across much of the region, again led by China and India.
• Inflation pressures remain largely contained.
• Asia weathered the recent financial turbulence relatively well.

Outlook and projections

• The outlook is favorable, with growth expected to decline only modestly in 2008 as foreign demand for Asia’s exports slows.
• The main risk for the region is a sharper-than-expected global slowdown.
