Asia-Pacific's Growth Expected to Slow in 2026 -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-23

0615 GMT - Asia-Pacific's growth is expected to slow this year amid a mix of external threats, Moody's Analytics economists write in a commentary. The Middle East conflict has pushed up commodity prices and raised inflation risks. Most Asia-Pacific economies also rely heavily on energy imports, with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, particularly dependent on imported fossil fuels. Additionally, the region faces tariff uncertainty and has been dependent on exports. "With access to the U.S. market becoming more difficult, the imbalance leaves the region exposed," the economists say. Moody's Analytics expects growth across the Asia-Pacific region to slow to 4% in 2026 from 4.3% in 2025. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
