New Delhi: Amid fears of an economic slowdown in Europe and the US, concern has increased for Asian countries as the International Monetary Fund has expressed the possibility of slowing economic growth in Asia. The IMF said Asia would be particularly vulnerable to major losses if the global economy splits into rival trading blocs.

The International Monetary Fund has forecast a major decline in China’s economy. At the same time, due to weak global cues, the economic growth rate of Asia has been cut. The IMF has reduced the potential growth rate of Asia to 4 percent in 2022. In 2021 this rate was 6.5 percent. Whereas in 2023 it is likely to be 4.3 percent. This is much lower than the average rate of 5.5% seen in the last 20 years.

In fact, in March 2022, the IMF divided the world into blocs along the lines of the United Nations General Assembly vote, with many nations demanding Russia end its invasion of Ukraine. Based on the same analysis, the IMF found that trade-related losses would be significant for a world divided into two blocs, as they restrict trade with each other’s nations.
