Asia’s economy will shrink more in 2020 than it previously thought - IMF
CNBC reports that the International Monetary Fund said that Asia’s economic contraction this year will be worse than previously thought as several emerging markets in the region have slowed down sharply while battling the coronavirus outbreak.
Asia is forecast to shrink by 2.2% this year, the IMF said . That’s worse than the fund’s June forecast for a 1.6% contraction, and stands in contrast to the IMF’s decision to revise upward the projection for the global economy.
The IMF said the downgrade for Asia’s economy “reflects a sharper contraction, notably in India, the Philippines, and Malaysia.” It added that India and the Philippines experienced a “particularly sharp” drop in economic activity in the second quarter, “given the continued rise in virus cases and extended lockdowns.”
