The Asian economy tells a compelling story — one that is resilient, transformative, and shaping the global economic landscape. Such story is carried by executives who see 2025 as another year poised for economic growth, filled with optimism and reinvention, as reflected in recent reports.
In PricewaterhouseCooper’s (PwC) 28th Annual Global CEO Survey — Asia-Pacific, about 55% of leaders expect notable progress in the economy compared to last year. This confidence is reflected in their business outlook, with 34% confident in their revenue growth projections and 46% planning to increase hiring this year.
While the region shows positive signs for economic growth, there’s also a cloud of uncertainty that could complicate its outlook. The report highlighted top concerns such as macroeconomic volatility (rising from 21% to 32%) and the low availability of workers with skills (increasing to 25%). Other risks include technological disruptions, rising trade tensions, and severe weather conditions, among others.
