SINGAPORE, August 28, 2023 – The ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) today unveiled its new website, as part of its efforts to implement the Strategic Direction 2030, promising greater access to its research and analysis to foster macroeconomic and financial resilience and stability in the ASEAN+3 region.

Timely and open access to information and data empower ASEAN+3 member economies, policymakers, media, and the public to make better-informed decisions as the region’s economic outlook continues to be fraught with uncertainty and challenges.

“After the pandemic, the ASEAN+3 economies continue to face multifaceted challenges from tightening financial conditions, geopolitical tensions, severe climate change and aging population,” said AMRO Director Kouqing Li. “In today’s uncertain and complex environment, communications is a critical policy tool in building trust, which underpins economic stability. Our new website will act as a trusted platform to ensure better understanding of economic developments and to communicate policy advice to safeguard the region’s macroeconomic and financial resilience and stability.”

The enhanced website marks an important step for AMRO as the organization progresses into a regional knowledge hub (RKH) and deepens its support to the ASEAN+3 Finance Process.

These efforts are part of the evolving role of AMRO—the only international organization established under the ASEAN+3 Finance Process, as the organization steps up its global influence as a trusted policy advisor and thought leader under its Strategic Direction 2030.
