Transcript of Press Briefing: Asia and Pacific Department Regional Economic Outlook October 24
October 24, 2024
In the first half of this year, Asia's economies grew stronger than we had expected. As a result, we have upgraded our regional forecast to 4.6 percent in 2024 and to 4.4 percent in 2025. With this, Asia remains the world's engine of growth. It generates 60 percent of global growth, far more than its share in global GDP of about 40 percent.

Series:Country Report No. 2024/225
October 31, 2024
Short-term prospects for Asia and the Pacific have improved slightly compared to the IMF’s April forecasts, even though growth is still expected to moderate in 2024 and 2025. The regional growth projection for 2024 has been marked up to 4.6 percent from 4.5 percent in April, largely reflecting the over-performance in the first half of the year, and the region is forecast to contribute roughly 60 percent to global growth in 2024. In 2025, more accommodative monetary conditions are expected to support activity, resulting in a slight upward growth revision to 4.4 percent from 4.3 percent in April. Inflation has retreated in much of the region. At the same time, risks have increased, reflecting rising geopolitical tensions, uncertainty about the strength of global demand, and potential for financial volatility. Demographic change will act increasingly as a brake on activity, though structural shifts into high-productivity sectors such as tradable services hold promise to sustain robust growth.
