[SINGAPORE] Hopes that the conflict in the Middle East would stabilise quickly have grown narrower as the war moves past its two-month mark. Prolonged disruptions in energy supply chains suggest that Asian economies are set to feel a blow even larger – and longer – than initially expected, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) said in a note on Wednesday (Apr 29). This was an update to the forecast in its Asian Development Outlook report released in early April, which had projected a scenario in which the conflict would be relatively short-lived and last a month or two.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/apac-could-feel-energy-supply-chain-disruptions-years-says-adb (ICE SINGAPORE)
