East Asian countries are poised to report gross domestic product data that may mark the bottom of the region’s slowdown, as signs of a recovery in China and the U.S. herald a revival in demand for exports.

Hong Kong’s GDP probably rose last quarter after declining the previous three months, according to a Bloomberg survey before a report tomorrow.
