IMF cuts growth forecasts for Asian economies

The 2019 and 2020 growth forecasts for Singapore and other Asian economies have been cut by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its latest Regional Economic Outlook released yesterday.

It projected that Singapore's growth for 2019 will be 0.5 per cent, a sharp drop from the 2.3 per cent it forecast in its World Economic Outlook in April. The Singapore Government expects growth to come in between 0 and 1 per cent this year.

For 2020, the IMF estimated that Singapore's growth will be at 1 per cent, compared with its prediction of 2.4 per cent in April.

It forecast that China's growth will fall to 6.1 per cent this year, and to 5.8 per cent next year. And Hong Kong is expected to experience the sharpest slowdown, with growth slowing to 0.3 per cent this year.

But Asia will remain the world's fastest-growing region, it said.

S&P predicts Asia credit blow as in 1997

S&P Global Ratings predicts the coronavirus impact on Asia-Pacific credit conditions could be as bad as that in 1997.

S&P expects the impact on output for the region to be as large as the Asian Financial Crisis, and forecasts Asia-Pacific growth to dive to 2.2 percent in 2020 with a U-shaped recovery taking hold only later this year.

"An enormous first-quarter shock in China, shutdowns across the U.S. and Europe, and local transmission guarantee a recession across the Asia-Pacific," said Shaun Roache, S&P Global Ratings chief economist for Asia-Pacific.

The likely shrinkage in GDP due to the slowdown in global economic growth and temporary blow from the coronavirus will likely constrain demand for capital, and subsequently, new bond issuance.

However, corporate and institutional borrowers in Asia-Pacific continue to borrow a huge amount from banks rather than other sources, said S&P.
