Can the Unity Government Steer Favorable Growth in 2023?
Monetary tightening to address the high inflation, ongoing war in Ukraine, geopolitical tension and China’s Zero Covid Policy raised the risk of a global recession in 2023. Policymakers are facing difficult choices by taming inflation without stymying growth.
Our view is that the outlook for the global economy in 2023 will vary depending on where we are. Recession risk remains high in the US, UK, and Europe. In this context, the Asia Pacific (APAC) region would likely lose some steam amid a challenging global backdrop.
But broadly speaking, the Asia Pacific region would avoid a recession. Countries such as South Korea, Australia and New Zealand will be weighed by rising interest rates. The Philippines, Vietnam, India, Indonesia and Malaysia will see growth ease in 2023 compared to 2022. China will be the exception – its economy is expected to pick up following the easing of its zero-Covid policy.
Underpinned by external headwinds and added with domestic challenges while having bright spots, can the Malaysian economy steer ahead at a favorable pace under the “Unity” government?
