About

This high-level panel will discuss how ASEAN economies can sustain resilience and strengthen medium-term growth prospects in a more uncertain and fragmented global environment. The region stands at a critical juncture as global trade undergoes profound structural shifts, posing new challenges for ASEAN’s highly open, trade dependent growth model, while also creating opportunities to deepen regional linkages and strengthen resilience, including through ASEAN+3 financial cooperation. In this context, the seminar will focus on the policy priorities needed to preserve macroeconomic stability, rebuild buffers, and unlock new sources of growth.
