                    [Title] => East Asia economy slowing — ADB
                    [Summary] => Economic growth in East Asia will remain robust but will slow down to 6.8 percent in 2005 due to a less favorable external environment, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) forecast yesterday. 


This reduction from the gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 7.6 percent in 2004 was also attributed partly to oil prices reaching record highs this year, the ADB said in its Asia Economic Monitor report.

                    [Summary] => East Asia’s cycle of economic growth which began in the latter half of 2003 is expected to peak this year, an Asian Development Bank (ADB) report said  yesterday. 


Resurgent industrialized economies like Japan and the United States, strong regional trade and continued domestic demand in the region should push growth in East Asia to 7.3 percent this year, according to the Asia Economic Monitor (AEM) released by the Manila-based bank. 


The figure is above the 6.6 percent forecast in December 2003.

                    [Summary] => Southeast Asia need not fear a 1997-type contagion triggered by the rapid slide of the Philippine peso as the region is protected by strong economic fundamentals and more discerning investors, analysts say.


Political concerns have dragged the peso by as much as six percent from its high in May and the embattled unit is within striking distance of its historic low of 55.75 to the US dollar posted nearly two and a half years ago.
