ASIAN ECONOMIC REVIEW 2025
The latest edition of the Asian Economic Review explores Asia’s evolving role in the global economy amid rapid digital transformation, green transitions, and new regional partnerships. Anchored by coverage of the ASEAN–India Scale Hub 2025 in Bali, the magazine captures how innovation, entrepreneurship, and policy are converging to shape Asia’s economic future.
Key highlights include insights into the ASEAN–India partnership, which has matured from Look East to Act East, and now toward a phase of Innovate Together. The edition examines how both regions are collaborating in areas such as digital public infrastructure, clean energy, fintech, and startup scaling — making Asia not just a growth story but a global leader in inclusive innovation.
Feature articles spotlight the region’s digital economy boom, projected to reach US$2 trillion by 2030, and the race to bridge the skills gap in AI, green energy, and advanced manufacturing. Other sections cover capital market reforms, youth employability initiatives, and the expanding role of creative and cultural diplomacy in driving regional collaboration.
The magazine also features reflections from thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers who are defining the next phase of Asia’s growth — one rooted in sustainability, shared prosperity, and collaboration. Across its pages, a clear message emerges: the future of Asia depends not only on its economic dynamism but also on its ability to scale ideas, connect ecosystems, and empower people.
In this third edition, Asian Economic Review reaffirms its mission to serve as a platform for forward-looking dialogue, bridging business insights, policy analysis, and the human stories behind Asia’s economic transformation.
