ASEAN infrastructure remains an area where we see sustained growth. 2. Indonesia (power and transport), Vietnam (PPP projects throughout), the Philippines and Thailand (both transport) are areas of opportunity. Malaysia and Singapore will focus on quality rather than quantity. 3. Regulations and transparency need to continue to improve, particularly as transport infrastructure needs clear land acquisition processes to be put in place. 4. Logistics performance has been improving. The Philippines has lagged in recent years while Indonesia has seen the greatest improvement. 5. In ASEAN, we think the demographic and urbanization trends suggest rising domestic savings rates in the coming years. It also helps that ASEAN balance sheets are under- leveraged. While foreign capital is needed, domestic funding is set to be a big factor.
