Southeast Asia Outlook: Navigating Uncertainty
Southeast Asian economies have held up better than expected this year. The AI boom has sent exports soaring, but the gains have been uneven across economies. Meanwhile, a growing list of risks looms ahead. Higher energy prices, evolving U.S. tariff policies, and weak domestic demand threaten to widen growth disparities and test the region's resilience. Can Southeast Asia maintain its momentum through the rest of the year?
Join the Moody's Analytics Southeast Asia Outlook webinar as we unpack:
• Our latest growth forecasts
• How central banks are balancing inflation, growth and exchange-rate pressures
• Investment trends and the beneficiaries of the AI boom
• Tariff developments and geopolitical risks
