About this Report:
The countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are vastly diverse and uneven landscapes in terms of infrastructure development. For instance, Singapore is a perennial global leader in infrastructure quality whereas other countries in the region have serious infrastructure deficiencies that hamstring the efficiency and competitiveness of their economies. What the countries of the ASEAN have in common, however, is the understanding that infrastructure underpins growth, and the vision to invest in the sector’s development. This was reflected in the resilience of infrastructure investment across the region in 2023 despite economic and geopolitical uncertainty, high inflation, and lacklustre global demand for goods and services.
In recent years, members of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) have implemented sectoral reforms to attract foreign investments, especially for physical connectivity and renewable energy infrastructures. Governments in the region have codified frameworks such as Public-PrivatePartnerships and Build-Operate-Transfer into laws to facilitate projects in the infrastructure sector. Following the examples of Singapore and Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines have relaxed limitations on foreign ownership in specific sectors and under particular circumstances. In line with the recent trend for regional integration, Singapore and Thailand entered agreements with Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia to purchase energy, especially from renewable sources. Apart from the goal of shifting the energy mix to comprise more renewable sources, expanding and upgrading the connective infrastructure is a significant focus for countries like the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
