The East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region is seeing a reversal of fortune. Initially, many EAP countries contained COVID-19 and economic activity revived, but they are now being hit hard by the disease.
What is happening? Why? What do we expect? And what can be done?
The World Bank’s EAP Economic Update addresses these questions, focusing on implications for recovery, growth and inequality.
