Launch of the ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook 2026 Report

Join us for the launch of the ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook (AREO) 2026 report on Monday, April 6, at 10:30am (Singapore time).

Opening the press conference, AMRO Director/CEO Yasuto Watanabe will set the stage by reflecting on the region’s resilience amid a rapidly evolving global landscape, and why strengthening macroeconomic and financial resilience and stability remains a top priority for ASEAN+3 economies.

Despite major global shocks, the ASEAN+3 region (comprising members of ASEAN and China; Hong Kong, China; Japan; and Korea) has remained resilient. But can it withstand renewed pressure from Middle East tensions and US tariffs?

The latest AREO report explores the prospects and challenges that lie ahead, providing exclusive insights into:

  • The latest growth and inflation forecasts for 2026 and 2027
  •  Key risks shaping the near-term economic outlook and policy considerations for the ASEAN+3 economies
  • Transformation of ASEAN+3’s economic linkages over the past two decades, including the evolving regional value chains and the intra-regional demand

Hear directly from AMRO Chief Economist Dong He and Group Head & Principal Economist Allen Ng as they delve into the report’s key findings.

Tune in to our livestream and be part of the conversation on strengthening macroeconomic and financial resilience and stability across the ASEAN+3 region.
