Foreword
Throughout the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, governments, businesses, and people across Asia and the Pacific struggled to adjust to an ever-evolving new normal. Most countries took swift steps to contain the spread of infections through lockdowns, restrictions on mobility, social distancing and, once available, by establishing vaccine rollout programs. As the pandemic intensified, governments created comprehensive support packages for individuals, households, and businesses to minimize the effects of the restrictions on livelihoods and the availability of goods and services. These efforts set the stage for economic recovery. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimates that developing Asia rebounded from a 0.8% contraction in 2020 to 6.9% growth in 2021, and forecasts 5.2% growth in 2022. However, since early 2021, the appearance of variants—such as Delta and Omicron—created risk that new outbreaks would slow progress. Many countries have now started thinking of ways of living with a more endemic COVID-19.
