Our analysts unpack the economic numbers in China, Indonesia and the Philippines and also the downgrade in GDP forecast for Singapore. Over in Malaysia, we expect business as usual after the state elections, and look forward to new policy announcements including any updates on the KL-Sing apore High Speed Rail project. Meanwhile, youth unemployment and under-employment rates remain sticky while informal jobs are at record high. While there were broad-based increases in employment growth across sectors, manufacturing jobs and income growth trended lower.
