IMF Sees Asia’s Growth Slowing Despite AI-Fueled Resilience
The International Monetary Fund expects economic growth in the Asia-Pacific to slow this year and next, warning that rising energy prices and any pullback in the artificial-intelligence boom could test the region’s resilience.
Growth in the Asia-Pacific is projected at 4.8% in 2026, down from 5% last year but above the IMF’s April forecast of 4.4%. This will further moderate to 4.4% in 2027, the Washington-based fund said in its October regional economic outlook report.
