Seminar on 2025 ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook & Fiscal Policy Report

The ASEAN+3 region maintained stable growth of 4.3 percent in 2024 despite various uncertainties and is positioned to remain resilient with the policy space to cushion near-term shocks. However, the outlook for the region faces significant headwinds from an unprecedented escalation of tariffs globally. This seminar will present key findings from AMRO’s latest flagship reports: the ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook (AREO) and the ASEAN+3 Fiscal Policy Report (AFPR). The experts will discuss the ASEAN+3 region’s economic prospects amid growing uncertainty and the fiscal development in the region and Vietnam.
