This report examines the economic outlook of developing Asia amid global turbulence and lingering effects of the pandemic.
Developing Asia is expected grow at 5.2% in 2022 and 5.3% in 2023 on continued recovery in domestic demand and solid exports, according to the Asian Development Outlook (ADO) 2022: Mobilizing Taxes for Development, the flagship publication of the Asian Development Bank.
However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has added uncertainty to the outlook as the world continues to contain the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
The region rebounded by 6.9% in 2021 although the recovery is still largely incomplete in many of the countries.
