Asia’s Economic Outlook: A View From the IMF
Wed, October 28th, 2015
Washington, DC
Though Asia remains the fastest growing region globally, its growth rate is slowing. Asian economies are contending with China’s slowdown, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s on-again, off-again interest rate liftoff, as well as continued commodity price declines. Are the policies of countries in the region robust enough to deal with these external exigencies, and how successful will they be in steering through the raft of challenges they face in these uncertain times? Join Changyong Rhee as he gives the IMF’s view of Asia’s economic outlook. Carnegie’s Uri Dadush will be the discussant, and Vikram Nehru will moderate.
