PETALING JAYA: Asia’s underlying fundamentals remain solid with resilient growth prospects despite headwinds from the US-China trade friction and rising US interest rates, said Maybank Kim Eng CEO Datuk John Chong.

In a statement, Chong said investors should look beyond short-term noise and focus on the region’s long term growth prospects, which is still expected to outshine that of developed economies.
