The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects the Asia-Pacific region to expand at 5.6% year-over-year in 2015 and 5.5% in 2016. But the region faces risks like rising debts, a stronger dollar and weaker-than-expected performances from China and Japan, the IMF noted.
On the other side, low commodity prices, strong labour markets and recoveries in the U.S. and Europe will support the region, the IMF added.
