Key Points
- Singapore eases monetary policy for the first time since 2020 in response to slowing economic growth and moderating core inflation.
- Vietnam is projected to be the fastest-growing economy in the Asia-Pacific region by 2026, driven by infrastructure investments, global supply chain integration, and a young, skilled workforce.
- Indonesia's mandate for exporters to deposit one hundred percent of their dollar-denominated earnings domestically is expected to create significant cash flow challenges for coal miners amid low prices and reduced demand.
