(Bloomberg) -- Michael Taylor, Managing Director and Chief Credit Officer for Asia Pacific at Moody’s comments in Sydney conference.
Alert: HALISTER1- Slowdown in China, implications of U.S. policies, disorderly response to Fed tightening, EU developments inc. Brexit and rising leverage in Asian economies are key risks to Asia Pacific’s long-term growth prospects: Taylor
- U.S. will become less active in global trade regardless of who wins Nov. 8 election; unclear whether TPP will pass
- Unexpected increase or faster than expected rise in interest rates could impact portfolio flows in Asia-Pac region; U.S. banks lending in region will also be impacted, with Singapore and Hong Kong most vulnerable
- Central banks in Asia-Pac region “still have room” to cut interest rates further; Australia still has “relatively high” rates
- Asia will remain fastest-growing region in world, but with outlook softening in next 18 mths
