[Moody's: Asia-Pacific Economic Growth Expected to Slow, Potentially Dropping to 3.6% in 2026] 1. A new research report from Moody's Analytics indicates that economic growth momentum in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to weaken in 2026. The agency predicts that the region's GDP growth rate will decline from 4.1% in 2025 to 3.6% in 2026, and further to 3.5% in 2027. 2. The report analyzes that the surge in exports this year was mainly due to manufacturers rushing to ship goods before the US tariff increase, a temporary factor that is unlikely to be sustainable. With the US tariff policy officially implemented and continuing into next year and beyond, regional economic growth is facing pressure. 3. Economists also point out that weak domestic demand not only limits the region's ability to offset the impact of tariffs but also puts downward pressure on price levels. This trend suggests that Asia-Pacific economies will face a more challenging growth environment in the coming years.
