 BEIJING, Nov 4 (Reuters) - The developing economies of East
Asia will grow by 6.7 percent this year and 7.8 percent in
2010, the World Bank forecast on Wednesday, raising its
estimates after better-than-expected performance so far this
year.
 In its twice-yearly report to review the region, the
Washington-based development bank estimated that, stripping out
China, the developing economies of East Asia will grow by only
1.1 percent this year, picking up to 4.5 percent in 2010.
 Following are details of the World Bank's forecasts for
gross domestic product growth (percentage change from previous
year), including its previous forecasts for 2009 growth, made
in April of this year and in December 2008:
