We forecast further recovery for APAC cities in 2022, but clearly with some big risks
We project that Asia Pacific’s 25 leading cities experience on average 4.5% GDP growth in 2022, and 4.1% over the five years 2022-26, although there is of course considerable economic uncertainty at present.
What you will learn:
- Bengaluru and Ho Chi Minh City top our growth league, with other major Indian cities also among those forecast to do well.
- Indian Covid-19 responses are improving, and the cities are labour-rich.
- China’s top cities tend to cluster around the average of our forecasts. Partly this reflects their size—they play a big role in determining what the average is.

Powering Growth: How Data Centres Are Reshaping APAC Economies
At Oxford Economics, we help you surface and quantify those contributions, turning anecdotes into evidence. Our Economic Impact Consulting team builds defensible models that capture direct, indirect, and induced impacts, plus catalytic effects that are often missed, such as supplier development, skills formation, productivity gains, and infrastructure upgrades. We translate your operational data into board and regulator ready insights on jobs, GVA, incomes, and tax across construction and operations, at city, provincial, and national levels. We also run forward looking scenarios, including AI driven load growth, power and carbon forecast, and policy shifts, so you can credibly articulate both today’s impact and tomorrow’s trajectory. The result is a clear country level value story that strengthens stakeholder trust, supports siting and incentives, and helps you scale with confidence.
