Diverging forces are shaping the APEC region’s economic outlook. While investments in new and emerging technologies alongside timely policy actions continue to support growth, rising energy and food prices, geopolitical tensions and tightening financial conditions pose significant challenges. Developments in inflation, trade, and public debt are testing the region’s resilience, underscoring the need for coordinated policy responses. The report highlights four policy priorities to strengthen economic resilience: an agile and effective policy mix, diversified investments and energy sources, a stronger trading environment, and deeper regional cooperation.
