Indonesia’s fires have kept southern ASEAN under the region’s highest haze alert since 26 August.
The aseanx Haze Monitor maps the fires, the smoke and the government response across all eleven markets, with aseanx’s own assessment of economic impact and what to expect.
Introducing aseanx — eleven markets, one operating picture
ASEAN is not one market. It is eleven, each moving at its own speed, under its own rules, behind its own information gaps.
aseanx closes that gap: a live read of policy, price, trade and sentiment across all eleven, classified by who is acting on whom (G2B · B2G · B2B) and early enough to act.
Ten of the eleven markets score above the neutral reference of fifty, across a spread of 43.5 index points. Myanmar scores on four of five components. Source: World Bank World Development Indicators.
Leaders from business, policy and diplomacy across Southeast Asia came together for the launch of aseanx.
YM Tengku Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, Chairman of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), officiated the launch in Kuala Lumpur. The inaugural aseanx Forum followed.
MERIDIAN is the first predictive and accountable intelligence system for Southeast Asia
Thirty domains, five lenses, one published method. Every call names what would prove it wrong — and publishes the result, right or wrong.
aseanx tv is on air — the first channel built for ASEAN business
Country Files for all eleven markets, running now, with the news and intelligence tickers underneath. Government to business, business to government, business to business.
Signals is the week's read — what moved, and what it means for ASEAN
The Baseline scan, the Global Watch of external forces bearing on Southeast Asia, and the Regional Watch of the shifts moving inside it.
Intelligence is the desk — policy, price, trade and tenders in one place
Fourteen views under one tab: the policy tracker, prices, the deal tracker, tenders and market entry — all eleven markets, Singapore to Timor-Leste.
Analysis carries two instruments — the Business Conditions Index and the FDI Pulse
The Business Conditions Index scores five components across all eleven member states on a 0-100 scale, GDP-weighted, with fifty as the neutral reference. The FDI Pulse reads where recorded investment landed, by market, by sector and by source economy. Every component is drawn from a named issuing body and every gap is shown as a gap.
News tracks who is acting on whom across eleven markets — the flows that later form the signals.
Every story from the eleven markets is tagged by its flow: government to business (G2B), business to government (B2G), business to business (B2B) or government to government (G2G). The flows that build up across markets become the Signals, and every item carries its source and date.
Speakers from Malaysia and across Southeast Asia debated ASEAN 2.0 at the inaugural aseanx Forum.
