ASEAN Economic Forum (AEF) is an independent platform that brings together stakeholders of the ASEAN Economies & beyond to promote social and economic development through impactful programs. It fosters engagement between stakeholders to address Policy issues, create thought leadership and find solutions for sustainable economic development and the stability of the underlying financial markets.
