Emerging Asian economies are ahead of the curve when it comes to a post-virus recovery, and that is translating into some of the world’s best equity returns this year by a wide margin.
A group of about 180 stocks from the emerging Asia Pacific region have posted total returns of 19% on average this year, well ahead of other geographies around the world, according to a Bloomberg analysis of 3,000 global shares. Eastern Europe is the only one of the six other regions that has posted a positive return this year, with a mere 2% gain, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
