Business Matters By Roberto F. de Ocampo

Philippine Daily Inquirer | 10 April 2021

"The Emerging Markets advance is expected to be led by China, India, and “Other Emerging Asian Economies” (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc). Following an anemic 1.4 percent GDP growth in 2020, China is forecast to achieve a 5 percent growth this year. India’s economy is forecast to leap from a negative 7.1 percent GDP growth rate in 2020 to a whopping positive 12 percent one in 2021. Other Emerging Asian Economies are expected to rise from a negative 3 percent growth rate in 2020 to a positive 5 percent in 2021."
