ASEAN’s Geoeconomic Realignment: PPAA and StoneBench Featured by the Hinrich Foundation

The Hinrich Foundation has featured an article by Dr. Pushpanathan Sundram and Siddharth Poddar, highlighting key insights from a new white paper on ASEAN’s evolving economic landscape.

The article examines how geopolitical shifts, trade tensions, and supply chain reconfigurations are reshaping ASEAN’s role in the global economy. It underscores the need for deeper regional cooperation, sustainable growth, and investment resilience as the region prepares for the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur.

The featured analysis is based on a white paper jointly published by StoneBench and PublicPolicyAsia Advisors (PPAA), which explores ASEAN’s pathways for sustaining openness and competitiveness amid global uncertainty.
