China, India slowdowns force ADB to lower regional growth outlook

2012 projection eased to 6.1%, while 2013 forecast cut to 6.7%.

BBVA noted that the Asian Development Bank announced it was scaling back its growth forecast for developing Asia in 2012 and 2013 amid an ongoing slump in global demand and slowdowns in China and India.

The ADB projects the region’s GDP growth will ease to 6.1% in 2012 (from 6.9% earlier), and 6.7% (7.3% earlier) in 2013, down significantly from 7.2% in 2011. In today’s difficult environment, the region also remains susceptible to capital outflows, according to the ADB.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
