BlueNotes Podcast: Four signs an ASEAN boom is on the horizon

Glenn Maguire & Tammy Medard

Former Chief Economist South Asia, ASEAN & Pacific & Head of Diversified Industrials and Global Subsidiaries, ANZ

South East Asia is on the cusp of a boom as the ASEAN region looks set to emerge as not just a production hub but a domestic consumption hub as well. At ANZ, we think ASEAN will become as important for the global economy and for Australia and New Zealand over the next decade as China is now.

In the wake of the recent ANZ report ASEAN: The next horizon, ANZ’s chief economist in South Asia, ASEAN and Pacific Glenn Maguire and ANZ’s Laos CEO Tammy Medard have recorded a podcast exclusively for BlueNotes where they discuss the four key propositions of the report. You can listen to the podcast below.

As an economist, the traffic jam is one of the most tangible indicators of economies growing quickly, a burgeoning new middle class rapidly forming - these new middle-income households are purchasing vehicles and scooters for the very first time.
