3) IMF APAC Outlook 2024

Key Insights:

1. Increased APAC regional growth forecast by +0.3% from 4.2% to 4.5% for 2024
2. Growth forecast for 2025 is unchanged at 4.3%
3. Revision reflects upgrades for China, where we expect policy stimulus to provide support
4. India, where public investment remains an important driver, making it the world’s fastest-growing major economy
5. Robust private consumption will remain the main growth driver in Asia’s other emerging market economies
6. Global disinflation and the prospect of lower central bank interest rates have made a soft landing more likely

A) Uneven inflation outcomes:

• Inflation higher than target – New Zealand, Australia, South Korea
• Inflation near target – India, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam
• Inflation below target – Thailand
• No inflation target – China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia 

B) China property sector correction:

1. Deepening of the property sector downturn marred the rebound after the country’s post-COVID reopening in early 2023
2. China economy grew by +5.2% in 2023, more than previously forecast
3. Raised growth estimate for 2024 by 0.4% to 4.6%
4. Key risks for Asia’s economy remains a protracted property sector correction in China that would weaken demand and could increase the odds of sustained deflation
5. China direct trade spillovers – China’s falling export prices that put pressure on the profit margins of the country’s competitors: recent IMF staff analysis shows that Chinese export price declines reduce both export prices and quantities of other Asian economies, especially those with a similar export structure.

C) China policy options that will affect itself & region:

1. A policy package that accelerates the exit of nonviable property developers, promotes the completion of housing projects, and manages debt risks of local governments would boost confidence, support demand, and help the economy reflate—and therefore improve growth prospects for both China and neighboring countries. 
2. By contrast, policies that boost supply—such as investment subsidies to specific companies and industries—would worsen overcapacity, reinforce deflationary pressures, and potentially provoke trade frictions.

D) Global & Asia trade risks:

1. Reinforcing frictions would be a dismal outcome for a region that has benefitted so much from trade openness
2. One outcome is an inefficient lengthening of supply chains, as trade is channeled through third countries. 
3. Many of Asia economies are deeply integrated into global supply chains and benefit greatly from trade.
4. Policymakers should be cautious to not aggravate trade frictions themselves
5. Beyond the short term, population aging, slowing productivity growth, and new technologies such as artificial intelligence confront policymakers in Asia with important challenges. 
6. Common need to invest in capital, digital infrastructure, and workforce skills, to preserve Asia’s role as growth engine of the world economy.
