Under our 2022 baseline scenario moving, we expect global growth to ease a notch, but remain highly supportive of Asian economies, thanks to solid demand for manufactured goods and commodities.
That has not changed, in spite of the emergence of the Omicron variant, which, anecdotally, appears to be more transmissible but less deadly.
With the Fed set to accelerate the normalisation of policy, there are no good options for policymakers in Asia if Omicron sparks a new wave of infections.
