The Asian Development Bank (ADB) predicts that Asia's economic growth will reach 5.5% in 2020, a 0.1% increase. While Asia's economic growth remains moderate, it is holding strong in the face of a global economic slowdown.
The global economic slowdown will continue in 2020, and investment is predicted to weaken. This is due to the ongoing US-China trade war.
Rising food prices are driving inflation. Inflation for this year is projected to remain the same as in 2019, at 2.7%.
