SINGAPORE -- The Ukraine war adds to inflation and supply chain risks facing an emerging Asia attempting to break out of the COVID-19 slump, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development warned on Tuesday.

In a new report, the OECD projects that the gross domestic product of emerging Asia -- China, India and the 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations -- will grow 5.8% this year, following a 7.4% expansion in 2021 and a 0.8% contraction in 2020.
