WASHINGTON -- Asia's economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic likely will remain uneven for at least five years, with developing countries lagging over the long term, a senior official at the International Monetary Fund has told Nikkei.
"We see the level of [gross domestic product] about 5.5% lower in the Asian region in 2025 than we had been projecting before the pandemic," said Jonathan D. Ostry, deputy director of the IMF's Asia-Pacific department.
