Four Key Propositions on the ASEANFour key implications on what it will mean

1. The ASEAN will not be a seamless economic hub from December 2015 with the introduction of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Segmentation, not integration, will be the defining characteristic

2. This “segmentation” will allow global value/supply chains, enabled by multinational corporations, to extend through the ASEAN. The ASEAN is likely to emerge as the new “Factory Asia” in coming decades

3. As these production platforms drift into the ASEAN, creating employment and boosting income, we will see a genuine middle/consuming class emerge across the ASEAN. Indeed, the ASEAN will add roughly the population of Australia to its consuming class every year. A large and dynamic middle class will coalesce in the ASEAN making it a double attractive destination – a production hub and huge domestic market.

4. A possible impediment to the development of “factory” and “consuming” Asia within the ASEAN is the significant infrastructure deficit across the region. We believe we are on the cusp of a sweet spot where infrastructure financing and political will for new infrastructure collide. The huge ASEAN infrastructure deficit will close over the coming decade further bolstering the attractiveness of the region as the new “factory Asia”.

The growth profile of the various economies within ASEAN will vary widely in nominal GDP terms.

Indonesia to have one of the fastest growth rates as a consequence of the key economic reforms President Jokowi is currently putting in place. As a result, by 2025 we believe Indonesia’s economy, in nominal GDP terms, will be larger than all the other ASEAN members combined.

3 distinct sub regions will develop within ASEAN ASEAN will be segmented, not integrated, in the first instance

• The rather poetic sounding “Flying Geese Paradigm” (FGP) is actually a very apt description of how East Asia has industrialised

• First postulated in the 1960’s by Akamatsu, the FGP has proved to be remarkably accurate

• East Asian nations will “catch-up” with the West as part of a regional hierarchy where the production of commoditised goods continuously moves from the more advanced to the less developed economies

• Hence, the model accurately foresaw the international division of labour across Asia

• The main driver of the model is the “leader’s imperative for internal restructuring”, a dynamic China is now addressing

Question 2:

Will the ASEAN become home to the world’s newest middle class?

Education• Education will be a

particularly powerful dynamic in supporting the move towards upper-middle class incomes and the eventual move to high-income

• For Asia, the move to middle-income status has been achieved by the creation of high-volume low-value added manufacturing workforces

• To move into high-income space, these high-volume workforces and production networks will need to be re-skilled and re-tooled into higher value added production and production possibility frontiers shift out

• Education either domestically originated or via skills transfer within multinational enterprises will be crucial to this process

Demographics• The key factor

underpinning the likely rise of a large middle-income cohort in Asia is the demographic profile.

• India and Indonesia in particular are endowed with particularly young populations

• These populations still have the capital deepening episodes of education laying ahead of them.

• The productivity dividend is likely to be particularly firm in these economies as the skill set of the population deepens

Urbanisation• Urbanisation is also a very

powerful factor in middle class formation.

• Government’s are able to more efficiently provide public goods such as education and social services to urbanised populations compared to rural populations.

• Populations have more access to work opportunities in urban centres and generally enjoy a higher quality of life.

• Better transport connectivity and digital services improves work search and results in more efficient labour market matching.

Urbanisation Growth will be very strongASEAN and Mekong have most urbanisation potential

• The great civilisations of Europe and America have relied on cities for their efflorescence.

• Asia, already home to some of the most sophisticated and innovative urban densities on the planet, like the Tokyo-Yokohama complex, Singapore, Hong Kong and Melbourne, will follow suit - but on an immense scale.

• In our region, urbanisation will be one of the key engines transforming the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) into one of the world's largest and fastest growing economic zones in the coming decades.

Page 23

Three key drivers of Income Formation in AsiaThese will underpin the rise of a “consuming class”

The ASEAN is likely to see rapid growth in household income formation as a result of the drift in manufacturing platforms south.

This will trigger the formation of an ASEAN consuming class for the first time.

ASEAN should add the equivalent of 1 Australia to its consuming class each year.

Question 3:

Will the ASEAN infrastructure deficit hamper growth?

The size of the ASEAN infrastructure deficit is profoundA multi-year public & private investment drought

The ASEAN infrastructure deficit really arose as a result of the Asia crisis in 1997-98.

Investment collapsed across the ASEAN by nearly 18.0ppt of GDP

Emerging Asia will account for almost half of the world infrastructure investment going forward, indicating a major geographical shift of infrastructure spending from the West to East in the foreseeable future.

Why the infrastructure gap matters3 Key Development Risks

We see three risks from ASEAN’s lack of long-term investment in these assets which include infrastructure, factories and equipment, residential and commercial real estate, education and research and development:Across South and Southeast Asia:1.  An estimated 600 million people still lack access to electricity, more than

360 million people lack access to safe drinking water, and 1.7 billion people lack access to basic sanitation. Without rectification, this will impede the formation of a middle-income class in ASEAN.

2. The quality, quantity and reliability of basic industrial infrastructure such as power, water and transport connectivity is inadequate throughout ASEAN except for Singapore and Brunei Darussalam. This will impede the development of large manufacturing bases if not resolved.

3. Lack of regional connectivity due to poor cross-border infrastructure will impede economic integration if not quickly addressed.

Page 28

Transport and connectivity will be a key challengeThe ASEAN will both industrialise and motorise

• The motorisation of Asia will be a key challenge

• IMF research identifies $5000 per capita as the tipping point at which motor vehicle ownership becomes feasible

• With “frugal innovation” this level could be dramatically lower (e.g. Tata Nano) ie around $1000 in India and even lower in the future

Competition is good. Multilateral influence rising.• The China sponsored Asia

Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is coming into being and will be well capitalised and internationally-backed

• As instruments for building “soft influence”, competition between the ADB and the AIIB is likely to lead to a more rapid deployment of funding for infrastructure projects than has hitherto been the case

Falling Oil prices & Subsidies• Since 2007-08 a vast pool

of public finances has been absorbed by incredibly inefficient oil and food subsidies that have been poorly targeted

• These average between 2.5% to 4.0% of GDP

• The decline in international commodity prices is allowing governments to unwind massive subsidy bills and redirect this spending to public works and infrastructure

• Indonesia and Malaysia are the two economies at the fore of this dynamic

The political and economic cycles align• Political and economic

cycles also appear to be aligning in favour of public works and infrastructure

• Reformist governments in Indonesia and Malaysia recognise the need to attract production platforms

• The overlay of the ASEAN Economic Community will encourage politicians to “think regionally” and “act locally”

• Better transport connectivity and digital services improves work search and results in more efficient labour market matching.

Hitting the infrastructure “sweet spot”After a two-decade drought, infrastructure fundamentals finally look positive

Growth in Mekong Frontier to outpace ASEAN 5 Part catch-up, Part productivity gains

Page 33

The economic performance of the GM5, like their geographical location, has largely lain in between China and the rest of the ASEAN.

All four CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam) countries have pursued a growth model that is largely based on the synergy between natural resource extraction and cheap labour.

The establishment of a common labour and factor market across ASEAN, which will include the GM5 economies, can be expected to accelerate the process of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) undertaken by private agents seeking to relocate production platforms to maximise profit.

The multilateral architecture of the AEC is likely to more evenly tilt growth opportunities to the Mekong in coming years.

Opportunities for Australia and New Zealand

Foreign Investment

• In addition to inbound investment opportunities in ASEAN economies, we are also seeing rising outbound foreign investment to Australia, including in property investment from Singapore and Malaysia

Exports

• ASEAN’s expanding middle income populations and urbanisation will create rising demand for food and possibly tourism and education. Demand for energy will also increase.

• Infrastructure deficits will generate demand for hard commodities, especially steel and construction-related products.

• Some export opportunities will arise indirectly – for example, rising steel exports from China to ASEAN economies will generate demand for Australia’s iron ore and coking coal

Imports

• Consumers and businesses in the Antipodes may benefit from ASEAN imports. Importantly, downward pressure on the price of global manufactured goods will continue as Asia’s manufacturing supply chains lengthen, which will be positive for Australia and New Zealand’s terms of trade.

• This will result from: (i) production being relocated to lower cost ASEAN countries; and (ii) cheap and mobile labour from the frontier economies keeping production costs down in the more expensive ASEAN economies.

Rich opportunities for the AntipodesThink beyond commodities – services could be huge

Page 36

Commodity exports to the ASEANAustralia declining market share – New Zealand stable

Australia’s hard commodity exports to ASEAN have grown strongly and increased as a share of Australia’s total exports to the region.

As a share of ASEAN’s total hard commodity imports, Australia has held its market share over the past 25 years, albeit with some volatility Coal and metal ores exports from Australia have accounted for a rising share (20%) of ASEAN imports in recent years.

Imports from ASEAN have risen, Reflecting offshoring to take advantage of ASEAN’s low cost structure

Page 38

New Zealand’s exports to ASEAN have grown strongly10% per annum over the past 25 years; will this pick up?

The share of New Zealand’s total goods exportsto ASEAN has doubled over that period to around 10%, where it has broadly remained in recent years, despite very strong growth in New Zealand’s exports to China.

Food and other agriculture products account for around 80% of New Zealand’s goodsexports to ASEAN – dairy alone represents 55%.

Page 39

ASEAN’s rising middle classA boon for New Zealand agricultural exports

Our baseline projections envisage New Zealand’s share of ASEAN’s soft commodity exports rising modestly by 2025.

Growth in soft commodity exports of nearly 5% per annum on average is projected over thatperiod, taking New Zealand’s agricultural exports to ASEAN to around USD5.5bn froma little more than USD3bn in 2013.

This seems eminently achievable, and thefact that near-double digit growth has been recorded for some time, faster growth thanour baseline may occur.

Page 40

Imports from ASEAN have become more importantNew Zealand firms should continue to offshore

New Zealand has been been sourcing a higher share of ASEAN imports from Thailand, and to a lesser extent Vietnam.

In our view, a rising share of imports will continue to be sourced from the mid-manufacturing countries, given strategies like ‘Thailand Plus One’.

Imports from the frontier economies, which are currently very small, are also expected to steadily increase over time as these economies take full advantage of their low production costs.

We continue to expect firms in New Zealand to offshore some production to ASEAN to take advantage of lower cost structures.

These offshore operations would see greater global opportunities for sales. Greater profits from offshoring would then flow back to New Zealand.

Page 41

New Zealand to import more from ASEANRising purchasing power as ASEAN becomes “factory Asia”

An important aspect of rising imports from ASEAN will be the positive effect it has on New Zealand residents’ purchasing power through ongoing downward pressureon import prices.

Consumers and businesses in New Zealand have clearly benefited over time from the disinflationary effects, as Asia’s manufacturing supply chain has evolved, and this is not just a China story from the early 2000s.
