Asean+3 growth to ease slightly in 2026 amid external uncertainty: Amro
The Asean+3 region, comprising China, Japan, South Korea, and 10 Asean countries, is projected to grow at 4% in 2026, a slight decrease from 4.3% in 2025 due to external uncertainties, particularly US tariff impacts. Despite this, growth in 2025 was robust, driven by technology exports and private investments. Inflation is expected to remain low, with a slight increase in 2026. While most economies received growth upgrades, risks from global tech demand and geopolitical tensions persist. Amro emphasizes the need for policy readiness and economic diversification to enhance resilience.
