Why South East Asia is so compelling

Asia is a shining star in the otherwise drab landscape of the economic stalwarts of our recent past. Opportunity is knocking in Southeast Asia. A few facts:

• The region has been resilient through the global financial crisis and has experienced consistent average annual GDP growth rates in the range of 5% to 8%.
• The region is urbanizing rapidly. The cities of Southeast Asia will support 81 million people by 2020, creating greater affluence through high workforce participation.
• Nine of the 10 fastest growing mega-cities in the world are in Asia.
• 63% of the world's 440 fastest emerging cities are in this region. This growth will add a billion new consumers and a total purchasing power in excess of $10 trillion to the global economy.
• In the 10-year period to 2010, incomes in emerging market countries rose on average by 96% and are forecast to rise 45% further by 2016.
• The region is bucking the aging demographic trend. By 2020, almost half of Southeast Asia's population will be below 30 years of age, providing an ongoing and steady stream of talent that will grow in experience and maturity each year.
• Multinational corporations (MNCs) are flourishing throughout Southeast Asia, bringing opportunities and building infrastructure
