Asia: Riding the tariff storm – what next?

Higher US tariffs for many Asian economies are now in place, and persistent US trade policy uncertainty appears a given.

We think a cyclical slowdown is imminent across most of Asia in the second half of this year, but not nearly weak enough to prompt aggressive monetary or fiscal loosening. In the longer term, Asian economies must either turn inwards towards domestic demand, or develop niche areas of manufacturing that do not undercut China’s competitive supply. We provide a preview of our outlook for the region in this webinar.
