The 2025 ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) blueprint, and the corresponding 2025 ASEAN Capital Markets Vision have already set ambitious goals for ASEAN’s future. They strive for a more integrated, innovative and inclusive region. But can ASEAN achieve these goals? If so, how? And to what purpose, for today's organisations and institutions?
These are the complex questions our “Reimagining ASEAN” series seeks to answer. Bringing together leading thinkers, policymakers, corporates, and innovators – based within ASEAN and outside – we explore where ASEAN is in the areas of trade, payments and FX, capital markets, and digitalisation. What is ASEAN’s progress to date? What potential barriers still remain? And most importantly, how can ASEAN accelerate progress and unlock its true potential?
