UBS projects that the
economies of the ASEAN 6 will grow by around 4.9% in 2026, supported by strong
integration into global manufacturing value chains and sizeable domestic
markets. Key growth drivers include household consumption in Indonesia, rising
private investment in Thailand and Philippines, and resilient
technology-related exports in Singapore and Malaysia, reflecting a steady and
positive outlook for Southeast Asia’s economic expansion.

These insights were
highlighted at the UBS OneASEAN Summit held in Singapore, which brought
together over 850 investors, policymakers, and industry
leaders. UBS noted that Southeast Asia continues to be a strategic destination
for global investors, with strong deal-making momentum expected in 2026, particularly in the healthcare, real estate, and consumer
sectors. Meanwhile, Indonesia recorded GDP growth of 5.11%,
driven by robust domestic demand, and is projected to maintain growth at around
5.2% in 2026.Click!
