Draft:ASEAN-5

The ASEAN-5 (also called the ASEAN Five or the ASEAN Big Five Economies) are the five original member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN): Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. In the decades after ASEAN’s establishment in 1967, these economies experienced rapid growth, structural transformation, and increasing integration into global and regional trade, and moved from largely low or lower-middle income status in the late 1960s to a group of mainly middle and high income economies by the early twenty-first century.^[1][2][3]

By the early 2000s, the ASEAN-5 had emerged as the economic core of ASEAN, accounting for the bulk of the region’s population, output and trade, and becoming key production bases within East Asian and global value chains. Singapore developed into a high income international financial and services centre, Malaysia and Thailand became upper-middle income manufacturing and export hubs, while Indonesia and the Philippines combined large domestic markets with expanding manufacturing and services sectors.^[4][5][6]

International organisations and scholars frequently use the ASEAN-5 as an analytical grouping in studies of regional integration, trade and financial liberalisation, productivity convergence and macroeconomic shocks, and often treat them as pioneers or “pioneering ASEAN five” in the development of the ASEAN Free Trade Area and the ASEAN Economic Community.^[6][7][8][2] The regional counterpart of the ASEAN-5 is the CLMV countries.
