The Asian century? Or the ASEAN century?
Singapore,
In 2020, ASEAN overtook the United States to become China’s largest trading partner. The next year saw a 28 percent jump in trade volume to US$878 billion, with Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand accounting for the lion’s share. Chinese exports to the region increased 26 percent year-on-year to US$483 billion, but imports rose even faster, up nearly 31 percent to US$394 billion.
Navigating economic headwinds
Singapore,
In November 2021, Google, Temasek and Bain & Company projected the region’s digital economy to grow to US$360 billion by 2025, revised from an earlier estimate of US$300 billion. By 2030, that number is expected to reach US$1 trillion, propelled by “a fast-growing base of digital consumers and merchants, acceleration in e-commerce and food delivery”.
