According to the first-of-its-kind Asean Development Outlook report, the total combined GDP of 10 Asean countries in 2019 was valued at US$3.2 trillion – making Asean the fifth-largest economy in the world, well on track to become the fourth largest by 2030. Members collaborated on the flow of essential goods and enhanced the resilience of its supply chains and sourcing in the region.

The Forum is addressing this global issue through initiatives like the EDISON Alliance, which mobilizes multi stakeholder collaboration to expand digital access to more than 1 billion people by 2025.
