Macroeconomic Indicators of the Development of ASEAN Countries at the Present Stage
Abstract
Relevance. In the modern system of international economic relations, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a global economic partner, since its role in ensuring peace and stability in this region, as well as beyond, continues to grow steadily.
The purpose is to study the macroeconomic indicators of the development of ASEAN countries at the present stage of international relations.
Objectives: to show the dynamics of the macroeconomic indicators of the ASEAN member countries; to reveal the directions and forms of deepening the integration cooperation of ASEAN with the UN, ECLAC and ESCAP; to characterize the reasons for the increased interest of the Western powers in cooperation with the countries of Southeast Asia.
Methodology. The use of the method of strategic analysis in conjunction with the methods of theoretical and statistical analysis of the data of the secretariat of ASEAN, UN, ESCAP and ECLAC made it possible to objectively assess the dynamics of macroeconomic development of the countries of Southeast Asia and predict trends in their future prospects within the ASAEN-10 block.
Results. The countries of the ASEAN integration association today are the actors of the largest integration groups in the Asia-Pacific region. The leading ASEAN member states are at the same time the engines of integration trends in Southeast Asia, the most promising of which in terms of its macroeconomic indicators is ASEAN-10, which is attractive for world powers such as the United States and China.
Conclusions. The ASEAN countries are actively developing a new format of dialogue economic partnerships for this region, which subsequently becomes the basis for further strategic trade and economic cooperation, relevant in modern conditions.
