IMF upgrades Asia’s growth forecast to 4.5% for 2025, warns of policy risks
IMF lifts Asia’s 2025 GDP outlook to 4.
The International Monetary Fund raised Asia’s growth outlook for 2025 to 4.5%, up from 3.9%, citing resilience in exports, manufacturing, and technology sectors. However, it warned that tighter global financial conditions, geopolitical strains, and uneven policy support could limit gains. The IMF urged regional economies to sustain reforms, diversify trade, and manage debt prudently. Asia is projected to contribute nearly 60% of global GDP growth over the next two years, underlining its importance in global recovery.
