Abstract:
As shockwaves from the COVID-19 pandemic disrupt economies around the world, growth rates in Emerging Asia are expected to contract in 2020 before rebounding in 2021. The OECD’s Economic Outlook for Southeast Asia, China and India 2020–Update describes the impact of the crisis on the economies of the region. In addition to the near-term regional economic outlook, it presents policy priorities for coping with the crisis, with a focus on digitalisation, tourism, healthcare and regional co-operation. It also examines the need to boost education quality in Emerging Asia.
