Economic outlooks in Asia have once again been lowered due to the U.S.-China trade war, which has manifested itself in weakened exports throughout the region. The 2019 growth forecast for the ASEAN5 was 4.6%, marking a third consecutive downward revision since the September 2018 survey. The Indian economy is expected to maintain growth of over 7%, but projections were revised downward for the fiscal year through next March as well as the following 12 months.
