Asia Economics
Our Asia coverage provides detailed analysis, independent forecasts, and regional outlooks for the economies and financial markets across Asia. We offer rapid responses to new data and developments, along with in-depth coverage of key themes, current trends, and future economic dynamics.
This service offers in-depth, independent economic analysis of the outlook for economic growth, inflation, trade, policy rates and financial markets across the region. Our primary focus in this service is on eight economies: Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. We aim to identify emerging trends at the national level, but we also look at developments across the region to identify common themes and differences of value to investors. In addition to these eight, we offer commentary on major developments in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. The Asia service contains some material on China, India and Japan but those with an interest in these countries are directed to our dedicated China, India and Japan services.
A subscription to this service includes timely written responses to events as they happen, access to our online research archive and our economists, and the opportunity to attend our conferences, forums and webinars.
