Developing Asia's Recovery from Crisis Takes Firm Hold - ADB

HONG KONG, CHINA - Developing Asia's strong recovery from the effects of the global economic crisis is expected to continue through the next two years, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) says in a new major report.

ADB's annual flagship economic publication, Asian Development Outlook 2010 (ADO 2010), released today, forecasts robust growth of 7.5% in 2010, well up from 5.2% in 2009, supported by a modest recovery in global trade and the ongoing effects of fiscal and monetary stimulus. Growth should moderate slightly to 7.3% in 2011 as effects of those expansionary policies dissipate.
