The 2.9 billion people\nliving in the APEC region represent 40 per cent of the world\u2019s population and\nproduce 60 per cent of global GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past three decades the region\u2019s economy has almost trebled, and average incomes more than doubled. Extreme poverty has been drastically reduced, due mainly to hundreds of millions of Chinese benefiting from astounding economic growth rates. Trade in goods and services has contributed strongly to economic growth over this time, expanding (at 7.1 per cent) nearly twice as fast as GDP growth (at 3.7 per cent). However, since 2012 international trade growth in the region has slowed, corresponding more closely with GDP growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an open economy, Australia\u2019s economic growth depends heavily on international trade and investment links with the rest of the world. Close to three quarters of Australia\u2019s trade is with APEC members, measured on a two-way trade basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nAsia-Pacific region is expected to record 5.5 per cent economic growth in 2019,\nslightly more than in 2018, and above the latest International Monetary Fund\n(IMF) forecast for the world economy as a whole of 3.2 per cent.<a href=\"#_edn1\">[i]<\/a>\nAmongst the advanced Asia-Pacific economies, the United States (US) is forecast\nto grow 2.6 per cent this year, down from 2.9 per cent last year, as the\npositive effect of US company tax cuts diminishes while the negative effect of\nrising protectionism takes hold. Japan\u2019s growth remains subdued at 0.9 per\ncent, close to last year\u2019s 0.8 per cent outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amongst\nemerging APEC members, China\u2019s growth is expected to fall from 6.6 per cent in\n2018 to 6.0 per cent in 2019, reflecting the impact of trade tensions with the\nUS. The ASEAN-5, comprised of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand\nand Vietnam, are forecast to grow slightly less as a group at 5.0 per cent this\nyear, compared to 5.2 per cent last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, (non-APEC) India continues to be the strongest\nperforming economy in the broader Indo-Pacific region, with growth expected to\nrise slightly from 6.8 per cent in 2018 to 7.0 per cent in 2019. India now\njoins China, Japan, the US and South Korea as one of Australia\u2019s top 5 trading\npartners.&nbsp; See Table 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Table 1: Australia\u2019s top 5 trading partners in 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Economic-outlook-table-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6624\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Economic-outlook-table-1.jpg 593w, https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/Economic-outlook-table-1-300x74.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Figure 1 below compares Australia\u2019s forecast growth with predicted growth in our top five trading partners according to the latest IMF forecasts. Australia\u2019s economic growth improves in 2020, although growth is expected to be lower for China, Japan, the US and South Korea.&nbsp; The exception is India, again expected to outperform China, with growth rising slightly above its current 7 per cent rate to 7.2 per cent in 2020.
