The International Monetary Fund revised Asia’s 2025 growth expectation upward to 4.5% (from 3.9%), citing strong exports and intra-regional trade momentum. It warned, however, that risks from U.S. trade policy, geopolitical tensions, and tightening global rates could derail gains. The IMF’s office in Asia-Pacific emphasized policy reforms are critical to sustain resilience, calling for structural improvements in trade, investment, and innovation.
