(RTTNews) - Japan will on Monday release preliminary Q4 numbers for gross domestic product, setting the pace for a busy day in Asia-Pacific economic activity.

Japan also will see final December figures for industrial production; the previous reading suggested a decline of 0.5 percent on month and 3.9 percent on year.

Indonesia will release January data for imports, exports and trade balance. Imports are expected to sink 2.77 percent on year after easing 0.47 percent in December.

Thailand will provide Q4 numbers for gross domestic product, with forecasts suggesting an increase of 0.8 percent on quarter and a decline of 5.4 percent on year. That follows the 6.5 percent quarterly increase and the 6.4 percent yearly drop in Q3.
