  • The East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region is seeing a reversal of fortune. Initially, many EAP countries contained COVID-19 and economic activity revived, but they are now being hit hard by the disease.  

    What is happening? Why? What do we expect? And what can be done?

    ľ¹ÏÓ°Ôº¡¯s EAP Economic Update addresses these questions, focusing on implications for recovery, growth and inequality.
