If you’re looking to expand in the region, give your business the best support possible with our ASEAN network

ASEAN is a destination of choice for many international corporates, including those from China, Europe, the United Kingdom and United States.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations forms one of the fastest growing economic powerhouses and as a single entity is one of the top 5 economies in the world, behind the US, EU, China and Japan. ASEAN’s 10 countries equate to more than 670 million people, accounting for nearly 10% of the world’s population. ASEAN’s GDP of US$3.6tn is growing at a rate of more than 5% - this is significantly higher than any other region and translates to a per capita metric of more than US$5,300. It is now the 3rd largest economy in Asia, and 5th largest economy in the world.
