ASEAN
In 2026 Q3, ASEAN is deepening regional economic integration through accelerated implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community’s digital trade framework, driven by member states’ push for competitive advantage in Southeast Asia’s growing digital economy. Concurrently, supply chain resilience efforts focus on reducing overreliance on external powers amid global geopolitical tensions. However, fragmentation risks remain due to uneven infrastructure and regulatory standards among members, which could slow unified trade facilitation and investment inflows.
