China’s recovery from the pandemic and strong demand in India will drive strong economic growth in Asia this year, the Asian Development Bank said in a report, according to Japan Today.

The Manila-based ADB’s latest update forecasts an expansion of 4.8% in this year and the next, up from 4.2% in 2022. It said inflation would likely cool slightly this year and fall further in 2024, the article adds.

The ADB forecasts that China's economy will grow 5% this year and 4.5% next year, an improvement over last year's 3% growth but slower than its long-term average, according to Japan Today.

India's economy, meanwhile, is expected to grow at a slower pace of 6.4% this year, it adds. That follows a 9.1% annual pace of expansion in 2021 as it rebounded from the worst of the pandemic, and 6.8% last year. But it's one of the fastest expansions for a major regional economy.

Vietnam, meanwhile, is expected to see 6.5% growth this year, down from 8% last year. That's above the average forecast for Southeast Asia, at 4.7% in 2023 and 5% next year.
