Key macroeconomic policy challenges to sustaining healthy growth
• Managing the spill over effects of capital flows o Focus on implemen[ng structural policies to reap
the benefits of capital inflows o Greater regional co-‐ordina[on to deal with capital
flows • Fostering closer economic co-‐opera[on and integra[on in the region o ASEAN needs to step up efforts to ensure that
economic integra[on remains on track o Narrow development gaps and enhance regional
integra[on

Overall product market regula[on Administra[ve regula[on Domes[c economic regula[on
The OECD Indicators of Product Market Regula[on (PMR) are a comprehensive and interna[onally-‐comparable set of indicators that measure the degree to which policies promote or inhibit compe[[on in areas of the product market where compe[[on is viable. The coded informa[on is normalised over a scale of 0 (=least restric[ve) to 6 (=most restric[ve), reflec[ng increasing restric[veness of regulatory provisions for compe[[on. The indicator of administra[ve regula[on is a simple average of the two indicators "Regulatory and administra[ve opacity" and "Administra[ve burdens on startups " in the domain "Barriers to entrepreneurship". Domes[c economic regula[on is the simple average of "Public ownership", "Involvement in business opera[on" and Barriers to compe[[on. Source: OECD, Product Market Regula[on Database.
Main messages Ø The medium-‐term outlook for Southeast Asia remain favourable,
with growth of 5.4% in the next five years. o To realise this growth poten[al, the region needs to manage
spillover effects of capital flows and press on the efforts to foster closer economic co-‐opera[on and integra[on
Ø New growth and development strategies must include structural policy reforms to ensure sustained and robust produc[vity growth.
Ø Over the longer term, some countries face difficult challenges to grow beyond the middle-‐income trap. o Ins[tu[onal capaci[es must be enhanced, together with closer
regional integra[on o “Factory Asia” needs to evolve and modern services sector
must be further developed to boost technological progress and produc[vity growth
