ASEAN Business Outlook Survey 2012/2013

Regional Highlights
The survey, released on August 30, 2012, found that U.S. companies are very optimistic about business prospects in ASEAN.

In a poll of 356 senior executives from U.S. companies across the region, 90% of survey respondents expect their company’s level of trade and investment in the ASEAN region to increase over the next five years, and 27% expect the level to increase significantly.

While U.S. businesses view the business outlook in ASEAN very favorably, the survey found substantial concern regarding corruption, which was the top issue for respondents in all countries except Singapore.
