AI Evaluation Notes

Several reports and outlooks published after April 2025 confirm that growth forecasts for the Asian economy were indeed revised downwards. For instance, the Asian Development Outlook (ADO) cut growth forecasts for Developing Asia and the Pacific in July 2025, and various countries within Asia, such as the ASEAN-5 and Lao PDR, also experienced downward revisions in their growth projections. This aligns with the prediction that the Asian economy would grow slower than previously expected, and that the growth forecast would be down.
