Why ASEAN? Just to make things clear, this is not a typo. We didn't make a mistake while writing Asian. ASEAN is the Association of Southeast Asian Nations which includes Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The regional governments have set 2015 as their goal for the ASEAN Economic Community or AEC2015 initiative. The economic integration will foster cooperation, improve regional competitiveness and has the potential to create enormous wealth for enterprises and investors.
About ASEAN. It is the 3rd largest economy in Asia, projected to reach USD 3 trillion in aggregate GDP by 2015. We are observing the greatest transition of wealth in history as the region enters one of the most powerful investment trends:
The region boasts compelling demographics as approximately 65percent of ASEAN's 600 million are within the 15-64 working-age range. A rising middle-class of consumers is set to increase by 50percent in the next five years. ASEAN's middle class coming into its own will boost domestic demand and help reduce the region's dependency on U.S. and European demand.
Increasing urbanization, growing at an average 2.2percent per annum, is propelling the emergence of ASEAN's middle class that has a high consumption propensity.
Greater economic integration means countries are benefiting from inter-regional trade, making ASEAN's growth story less cyclical and more resilient than North Asia and the West.
Nature endowed the region with rich and diverse natural resources ranging from world leading mining industry in Indonesia to vast untapped potential of Indochina.
