Sept 23 — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) in its 2026 Asian Development Outlook
(September) said growth among developing economies in Asia and the Pacific has
slowed from last year but remains resilient. It raised its 2026 growth forecast
to 5.0%, below 2025's 5.5% but marginally above its July projection. ADB cited
firm domestic demand, government stimulus and strength in tech-related sectors
as supporting activity. The 2027 forecast was unchanged at 5.1%.
