Developing Asia’s recovery has strengthened. Manufacturing and trade have rebounded, remittances have been relatively resilient, and policy support has been strong. But outbreaks are reemerging, vaccination efforts face challenges, and tourism remains hobbled. This Asian Development Outlook 2021 launch webinar will discuss the outlook and risks for the region.

Objectives

Webinar attendees will have the chance to engage with the speakers and:

  • Learn about the strength and drivers of recoveries across the region
  • Understand the risks weighing on the region’s outlook 
  • Obtain insights on policy responses, and potential long-term effects of the pandemic
