Atradius has published an article that warns that as the Chinese economy continues to falter, the spillover is expected to impact exposed economies around the world. Although no country is entirely immune from the effects of China’s economic woes, Asia-Pacific economies occupy the top positions in the league table of risk. In terms of trade, regional neighbours like Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam and South Korea are highly exposed. Modelling by Oxford Economics suggests that, in the worst-case scenario, the GDP of countries with deep trade links to China would suffer a 1% fall by 2026. Atradius’ own research forecasts a 23% increase in insolvencies in the Asia-Pacific region in 2024, primarily driven by China’s growth slowdown.
