ASEAN’s economic integration is entering a defining phase as the region moves towards the post-2025 agenda. While the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) has delivered notable progress over the past decade, the emergence of new global challenges e.g., fragmented supply chains, trade wars, digital transformation, climate change imperatives, and rising socio-economic disparities requires a reassessment of its integration strategy. This publication provides a comprehensive analysis of the policy priorities required to sustain and deepen ASEAN’s economic integration in this rapidly changing global environment. It examines critical areas such as trade and investment strategies, digital economy, climate action, energy transition, gender equality, disaster management, institutional effectiveness, and beyond. Through evidence-based analysis and actionable policy recommendations, the book offers practical guidance for policymakers and broader stakeholders as they aim to build a more resilient, inclusive, and future-ready ASEAN.
