ADB Cuts Economic Growth Projections for Developing Asia Amid Middle East Crisis

The Asian Development Bank sharply downgraded its economic growth forecasts for developing Asia and the Pacific while raising inflation projections, citing prolonged disruptions from the Middle East conflict that are driving up energy prices and tightening financial conditions.The bank now expects regional growth of 4.7% in 2026 and 4.8% in 2027, down from its earlier forecast of 5.1% for both years. Meanwhile, inflation is projected to accelerate to 5.2% this year before slowing to 4.1% in 2027, according to the latest ADB report.ADB said the revisions reflect sustained pressure on oil and gas prices, with crude expected to average about $96 per barrel in 2026, significantly higher than pre-conflict levels, weighing on fuel-importing economies.Under a more severe scenario, growth could ease further to 4.2% this year and 4% next year, while inflation may spike to 7.4% in 2026, the bank added, urging targeted fiscal support and measured monetary responses.

China's Commitment to Low-Carbon Energy Bearing Fruit, S&P Says

S&P Global Ratings sees China's longstanding investment in low-carbon energy yielding results, especially given current oil price shocks, according to a Monday release.Nonfossils have a 40% share of the country's current power generation, S&P said.Following an initial period of overinvestment and focus on scale, the sector is shifting to better cost discipline and profitability goals, the rating agency said.Balancing capacity with uptake will be a main concern for the sector's next phase, given that grid buildout lags renewable capacity additions, S&P credit analyst Christopher Yip said.Meanwhile, regions with renewable output surpassing demand face curtailment risks, the analyst said.Producers who are able to optimize their trading strategy or distribute through better grid systems should survive this more demanding phase, S&P said.A full supply chain anchoring solar and wind generation and grid infrastructure should support lower costs for local players compared to global peers, S&P said.
