  • AEW Asia Research Perspective Q215 in Progress .Indd
    GENERAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW Globally the economy is expanding at a moderate pace and key commodity prices AEW Asia Research Perspective Q2 2015 are much lower than they were at the beginning of the year. Growth expectations for 2016 and 2017 were broadly unchanged over the quarter while near-term global growth is expected to be slightly lower than initially anticipated. The Asian Development Bank is projecting growth of 2.8% in 2015 increasing to about 3.2% per annum over the following two years. Looking forward, global activity should be supported by continued low commodity prices and generally still-benign fi nancing conditions, notwithstanding the expected modest tightening in U.S. monetary policy. In the second half of 2015, it is likely that we will see a divergence in central bank policy in the major economies. In the U.S. it is widely expected the Federal Reserve will raise the Federal Funds Rate before the end of the year, perhaps as early as their September meeting. This is an important event for global capital markets as it will mark the Federal Reserve’s fi rst rate increase since 2006, and the fi rst increase since the policy rate hit zero at the end of 2008. Meanwhile, we anticipate that other central banks, such as the Bank of Japan and European Central Bank, will continue their highly accommodative monetary policies until at least the end of the year. In line with this central banks in the Fund’s target markets are also easing. Most notably the Bank of Korea reduced its policy rate to 1.5%, a record low, while the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) is loosening its policy stance with lower benchmark interest rates and lower reserve requirement ratios.
