Asia has 'mitigating factors' to counter a global growth slowdown - CEO of DBS Group Holdings

Global growth is expected to slow in the coming months, but Asian economies could hold up reasonably well, thanks to several "mitigating factors," Piyush Gupta, CEO of Singapore's DBS Group Holdings, told CNBC  on Monday.

"The overall macro-economy will be a tad bit slower, but I do think that there are some mitigating factors: Monetary policies are getting looser, I think there are some fiscal stimulus coming down the pipe," Gupta told.

Gupta noted that Asia is still projected to grow at 5.5% to 6% this year despite the overall softer global environment. Several central banks in Asia — including those in China, India and Australia — have lowered interest rates or indicated the intention to do so in the coming months in an attempt to shore up economic growth, the CEO added.
