#Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor, a 1.7tn baht (US$54.2bn) development heavily reliant on Chinese backing, should emerge unscathed by the kingdom’s pre-election political turmoil. The mega project is the brainchild of the military administration that seized power from a Shinawatra government in 2014, and has been built by the junta leader Prayuth Chan-Ocha as the cornerstone of plans to transform the country into fully developed status.

It seeks to replicate an investment programme from the 1980s, also called the #EasternEconomicCorridor, that is partly credited with making the country the world’s fastest growing economy from 1985 to 1994. The EEC covers an area greater than 13,000 square km - more than 6x the size of Shenzhen - and its development is enshrined under a 20-year economic plan devised by the junta that future governments are obliged to adhere to. The zone spans three coastal provinces, with the tourist hub of Pattaya at its heart.

With the global economy uncertain and #Malaysia’s economy slowing down, yesterday’s (Feb 11) announcement of an Economic Action Council is reassuring. The appointed EAC members must get cracking as time is not in our favour if we consider the average growth forecast of 4.5% this year and next year. Things have become more complicated with new issues emerging in post-2020 Malaysia, such as the ageing population, environmental crisis and the impact of the technological revolution. An economic blueprint, therefore, which can provide vision, direction and clarity moving forward is critical.

There are 3 issues that need immediate attention - the slowing down of economic activities, the skyrocketing national debt and the rising cost of living. Already we are seeing a rise in the unemployment rate - a worrying 3.3%, with youth unemployment 3 times higher. No doubt, the drag in our growth momentum is mainly due to external sources, primarily the United States-China trade war and the uncertainties of Brexit. But, Malaysia can do its part to cushion the threat of de-globalisation by improving and deepening its export markets.

European lawmakers approved a free trade deal between the #EU and #Singapore in Strasburg on Wednesday (Feb 13). The #EuropeanParliament approved the deal with a large majority with about two-thirds of the lawmakers voting in favor. The deal, which has been 9 years in the making, could come into force before the end of the current mandate of the #EuropeanCommission in 2019. The #freetradedeal - the #EU's first with a member of the #ASEAN - will 'remove virtually all tariffs between the 2 parties within 5 years,' according to the European Parliament. The EU hopes to use the agreement, which was signed in October last year, as a blueprint for further deals in #southeastAsia.

The agreement is part of the 28-nation bloc's push for more open markets in #Asia amid rising trade tensions with the US. Last year, Washington raised tariffs on European steel and aluminum and threatens to do the same on cars and auto parts. The EU's #freetradeagreement with #Japan, another Asian economic powerhouse, came into force this month. A deal with #Vietnam is expected to be signed soon.

Even as the Philippine government celebrates a successful dollar bond sale, signs are emerging of a return to the bad old days when fiscal profligacy undermined the country's creditworthiness. President #RodrigoDuterte's administration is likely to have breached its 3% limit on the fiscal deficit last year and is set do so again from next year until his term ends in 2022, as spending on infrastructure and social programs increases while tax revenues fall short.

In early January, the #Philippines led emerging market issuance for 2019 with the sale of $1.5bn in 10-year dollar bonds paying interest of 3.75%, 110bps over equivalent U.S. Treasuries and below the initial guide price of 130bps over Treasuries. The government's discipline appears to be weakening. Although full-year numbers are not yet available, it is likely that the administration breached its fiscal deficit limit of 3% of GDP in 2018 for the first time in 9 years.

#Indonesia’s #digitaltrade is expected to be the biggest support for the country’s economy by 2030, by helping commodities and manufacturing goods as well as services gain greater online market access. The research was jointly conducted by AlphaBeta, the Hinrich Foundation and the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), titled the Digital Komodo Dragon: How Indonesia can capture digital trade opportunity at home and abroad. The research shows that digital trade could create opportunity worth Rp 2.3 quadrillion (US$172bn) for the domestic economy alone by 2030, equivalent to 9% of Indonesia’s projected #GDP, from only Rp 125tn by 2017.
