On Monday, Japan will announce the figures for core machine orders for the month of December, marking a relatively quiet day for economic affairs within the Asia-Pacific region. Previous data shows that in November, there was a decrease in orders by 4.9 percent monthly and 5.0 percent annually.
Meanwhile, Thailand has planned to disclose its gross domestic product (GDP) statistics for the fourth quarter. Predictions point to a rise of 0.1 percent for the quarter and 2.5 percent for the year. These projections come after a 0.8 percent growth in the previous quarter and a 1.5 percent annual expansion.
