ASEAN continues to build competitiveness on a range of key indicators: labor and talent, ease of doing business, corporate leadership, manufacturing capabilities, and domestic consumption. ASEAN looks poised to remain one of the most attractive regions to foreign direct investment in 2023, despite a more challenging macroeconomic environment.

How can they minimize risk and maximize returns to take advantage of the ASEAN growth story?
