Economic Indicators For: ASEAN 5 › Change country
Countries in this region: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam

Overview: Among the ASEAN-5, growth is expected to remain solid in the more domestically oriented Indonesia and Vietnam. Commodity exports and domestic demand are expected to sustain growth in Indonesia, with a modest pick-up in investment expected to offset the withdrawal of fiscal stimulus. In Vietnam, strong domestic demand, rapid industrialization, and relatively robust foreign demand should continue to underpin stable and high growth. Thailand and Malaysia are projected to contract at about 3.5 percent in 2009, before returning to positive "though still anemic" growth in 2010. The Philippines is escaping contraction in 2009, thanks to the resilience of remittances and thereby private consumption, but growth momentum is expected to moderate somewhat in 2010 after the fiscal stimulus wanes.
