ASEAN Economic Community 2025–2030: Pathways Toward the World’s 4th Largest Economy

ASEAN is on track to become the world’s 4th largest economy—but how prepared is the region for what lies ahead?

Join us for Let’s Talk it Over as we explore the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2025–2030 and its pathways toward becoming one of the world’s largest economic blocs.

As part of the ASEAN Studies Lecture Series (ASLS), this session will examine the evolving trajectory of the AEC, including trade integration, regional production networks, and the expanding digital economy. The discussion will also reflect on the structural and policy challenges shaping ASEAN’s development—ranging from regulatory divergence to uneven growth and coordination constraints across Member States.

What strategic adjustments might ASEAN need to sustain inclusive and resilient growth in the years ahead?
