Weaker than expected trading activity in China and
India and anxieties concerning the United States quantitative easing programme
is holding back Asia’s growth prospects this year. Growth in Asia and the
Pacific will likely result in diminished figures when judged against earlier
projections. While economic activity will probably approach more sturdy levels
next year, circumstances dictate that the region needs to be attentive so as to
defend against financial instability in the short term and accelerate
structural reforms in order to support economic growth over the longer term.
In an update to reports from financial analysts at Mizuho Financial Global, they have revised figures of gross domestic product downwards and reset their growth forecast for the region to 6% from 6.6% predicted in April. There have been fluctuating expectations on when the US Federal Reserve’s QE program would be wound back, which has generated an exodus of foreign capital from emerging markets, especially from India and Indonesia. While sudden outflows of capital have unmasked certain vulnerabilities in the region, it has substantial current account surpluses and adequate foreign exchange reserves.
However, capital flow instability highlights the need to monitor the financial markets closely and the need to push ahead with belated reforms in foreign direct investment, infrastructure development, fiscal consolidation and social protection programmes, in order to generate growth over the long term. While China’s recent endeavours to restrict credit and the shadow banking system, the authorities are hoping to redirect the economy along a more supportable growth path and recognise the slowing of India’s economy has been due to industry and investment bottlenecks resulting from weak infrastructure and deferred structural reforms.
According to financial analysts at Mizuho Financial Global, although weak performances, lacklustre exports and moderating investment currently that will curtail Southeast Asia’s growth, affecting Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, surprisingly, the Philippines economy is predicted to perform strongly. The region is predicted to grow by 4.9 per cent this year, with the pace quickening to 5.3 per cent next year as investment recovery and stronger exports, reinforced by enhanced global trade and currency depreciations reignites.
