Business expansion
A recent HSBC survey of over 3,500 international companies with a commercial interest in ASEAN found that a staggering 91 percent were planning further expansion in the region.
The 10-member South-east Asian bloc has grown in importance in recent years.
According to a report, ASEAN economies expanded between 2010 and 2022 at an average of 4.4 per cent, pushing their aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) to US$3.6 trillion, exceeding India’s GDP of $3.5 trillion.
When treated as a single unity, ASEAN’s GDP ranks fifth globally, after the United States, China, Japan and Germany.
In 2023, the region once again proved its resiliency with strong domestic demand, easing prices and improving export demand.
Indonesia serves as a gateway to ASEAN’s 680 million people. It is also a hub for regional and international markets with 35 trade agreements, including the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), the largest trade pact which includes Australia, China, Japan and South Korea.
HSBC, your partner
As a global bank operating in Indonesia for 140 years, HSBC has not only the presence and operational expertise, but also tacit knowledge and thorough understanding of how to tap into prospective sectors in the country.
Beyond Indonesia, HSBC has a similar presence across the ASEAN region, where it has over 135 years of experience. HSBC fully understands that Southeast Asia is no monolith and not a place for a one-size-fits-all approach.
HSBC’s strong network of over 15,000 employees across 200 locations covers 93 per cent of ASEAN’s GDP, providing a strong platform for secure and efficient international transactions.
HSBC also has dedicated ASEAN desks in China, France, Germany and the United Kingdom to help international investors with their forays into the region.
HSBC TradePay and HSBC Omni Collect are the latest solutions so you can move forward with your company’s ASEAN expansion plan.
