Excluding Asia's high-income newly industrialized economies, growth should reach 6.5% in 2018 and 6.4% in 2019.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith oil prices edging up and robust consumer demand continuing, inflation is poised to pick up after dipping slightly last year. Consumer prices are projected to rise by 2.9% in both 2018 and 2019, or 0.6 percentage points more than in 2017.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough prospects are firm, risks are clearly to the downside.
