Asia-Pacific divided on export expectations

EXPORT expectations across 36 Asia-Pacific economies remain divided between some expecting exports to grow and projecting radically reduced prospects.

According to the latest quarterly global business survey that P&A Grant Thornton, a leading professional service firm, has compiled, the Asia-Pacific region as a whole is expecting an increase in export activity over the next 12 months, though some have radically reduced expectations due to concerns over currency volatility and uncertainty prevailing over world trade.
