Asia is set to grow at 5.7% in 2013, with growth in emerging Asia reaching 7.2%, leading the global three-speed recovery, says the International Monetary Fund in its latest Regional Economic Outlook for Asia and the Pacific released today in Singapore.
East Asian and Pacific economies are projected to grow 7.6 per cent this year, compared with 8.2 per cent in 2011, as China's expansion slows, the World Bank said Wednesday.
