th for many economies in developing Asia. The external slowdown affected trade-oriented open, economies in East and Southeast Asia most severely, with growth plunging to less than 2% in the Republic of Korea, Taipei,China, and Singapore (Figure 1.1.3).
Despite anemic external demand, some economies, mainly in Southeast Asia, managed to maintain growth momentum on the back of growth in private consumption and investment. Economic reforms after the Asian financial crisis, a better-balanced economic structure, and natural resources all contributed to the robust performance of the ASEAN economies in 2012.
Among domestic factors, private consump tion continued to be the key driver of growth in 2012, contributing more than half of growth across the economies in developing Asia. By comparison, growth in other factors, such as investment and exports, varied considerably across countries.
Unemployment rates kept declining in most countries, however, and labor markets continued to improve, lifting consumer confidence at least during the first half of last year.
