3rd annual Next STEP Conference Closing Fireside Chat with Ravi Menon, Managing Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore, on Response to Geo-Economic Fragmentation.
The Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) at the National University of Singapore are convening the third annual Next STEP Global Conference on November 5-7, 2023, in Singapore.
This year's conference will focus on how the intensification of US-China competition has put much of the world in a bind. Economies caught in the middle-those that do not count themselves among the G7 plus China-contain 80 percent of the world's population and are participants in the vast majority of cross-national transactions. Their interests are at stake, but how should they proceed when the two biggest economic players are at odds? Can their coming together independently of the great powers save global commerce for themselves and the world, or even encourage a return to more responsible behavior by the Chinese and US governments?

![[CSA series] Is Time Running Out to Realise the ASEAN Economic Community by 2025?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mU2zFHd4h8I/mqdefault.jpg "[CSA series] Is Time Running Out to Realise the ASEAN Economic Community by 2025?
ASEAN aims to realise the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2025, which entails establishing a single market and integrated production base. The AEC Blueprint provides numerous initiatives and agreements that must be implemented to attain this objective. ASEAN also has a Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity with a deadline of 2025, which complements the AEC. There are also regional FTAs like RCEP that help ASEAN build closer trade linkages with its major trading partners. However, ASEAN has faced significant economic challenges over the last few years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Given this context, is it still possible to achieve the AEC by 2025? What can be accomplished with only two years remaining?
In our 6th Counterpoint Southeast Asia public webinar, we ask: Is Time Running Out to Realise the ASEAN Economic Community by 2025? and invite three Southeast Asian analysts to provide their unique perspectives.
Counterpoint Southeast Asia is a webinar and policy brief series that tackles strategic and complex questions facing Southeast Asia by presenting the perspectives of regional academics and policy experts. It is organised by the Centre on Asia and Globalisation at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore.
Speakers:
## Julia Tijaja, Former Director of ASEAN Integration Monitoring, ASEAN Secretariat (2015-2021)
## Jean Clarisse T. Carlos, Project Development Officer, Philippine Institute for Development Studies
## Aekapol Chongvilaivan, Senior Economist (Public Finance), Asian Development Bank
Chairperson:
Denis Hew, Senior Research Fellow, Centre on Asia and Globalisation, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore
