Escalating violence in the Red Sea could lead to slower economic growth and heightened inflation across Asia, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).
Supply chain disruptions might trim up to 0.5 percentage points from Asia’s economic growth this year, while adding up to 0.4 percentage points to the inflation rate. Southeast Asian economies like Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, heavily reliant on exports, could be particularly vulnerable.
