6 days agoIMF urges Asia to reduce trade barriers as U.S. tariffs bite
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) called on Asian economies to cut non-tariff barriers and deepen intra-regional trade integration to buffer the impact of U.S. tariffs and global shocks. In its regional outlook, the IMF noted that while 60% of Asia’s intermediate-goods exports remain intra-regional, only 30% of final-goods follow the same path. Lowering barriers could boost regional GDP by up to 1.4 % and by 4 % in some ASEAN economies. Asia’s growth is projected at about 4.5% in 2025, easing to 4.1% in 2026 amid trade uncertainty.
