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%.
