Webinar Description
Asia and the Pacific remains the world’s most dynamic region despite downgrades to growth outlook for 2022. Headwinds to the region’s recovery include trade and commodity price spillovers from the Ukraine war, the tightening of financial conditions amid US monetary policy normalization, and COVID developments in some countries. The IMF team will present the region’s updated forecasts in the global context. It will also discuss findings of the analytical chapters of the IMF’s World Economic Outlook April 2022. One chapter looks at how global trade and value chains were affected by the pandemic. Another chapter analyzes how an increased leverage in the private sector may impact the pace of the recovery globally.
