Overview

With the largest GDP among ASEAN countries, demographic advantages, and a robust stock market, the outlook for Indonesia is promising. Regulatory reforms and initiatives to develop the country’s capital markets should help investors.

Malaysia has an open economy, a thriving stock exchange, and one of the most active bond markets in Asia. It is also a major hub for Islamic finance. Now the country’s regulatory authorities are focusing on fintech and alternative funding.

The Philippines’ recent rapid economic growth has not translated to capital markets, which remain small relative to Asian peers. The country is implementing projects to improve liquidity and broaden the investor base.
