SINGAPORE, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) today released its ASEAN+3 Financial Stability Report (AFSR) 2025 and the ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook (AREO) October Update, highlighting the region’s broad resilience in the face of heightened uncertainties driven by US trade policy shifts and geopolitical tensions.
Growth in the ASEAN+3 region is projected at 4.1 percent in 2025 and 3.8 percent in 2026, an upward revision from July’s forecast, supported by robust first-half performance and stronger-than-expected export momentum. Market pressures have gradually eased since peaking in April following the announcement of the “Liberation Day” tariffs.
“While intra-regional trade and domestic demand have become increasingly important growth drivers across ASEAN+3, the region remains deeply connected to the global financial system and is therefore not insulated from global shocks,” said AMRO Chief Economist Dong He. “Overall, the region’s financial system remains resilient, although pockets of vulnerabilities persist.”
Export-oriented corporate sectors—particularly smaller firms with high exposure to US demand—may face pressures on profit margins amid shifting trade dynamics. Inflation pressures in the US could persist amid higher import tariffs, complicating the Fed’s monetary policy stance and potentially triggering spillovers to other parts of the world. Additionally, growing uncertainty around the US dollar’s safe-haven status could further fragment the global financial landscape.
Despite these challenges, ASEAN+3 economies remain well-positioned to navigate global headwinds. Well-calibrated policy mixes and strong fundamentals—including robust banking systems, deepening financial markets, ample foreign reserves, and available policy space—have provided critical buffers. With inflation largely subdued and expectations well-anchored in most economies, central banks can maintain accommodative monetary policy to support growth.
At the same time, macroprudential tools, along with foreign exchange and capital flow management measures, offer additional safeguards to maintain financial stability and mitigate external spillovers. However, AMRO underscores that support should be carefully targeted to vulnerable sectors and deployed prudently to preserve policy space amid elevated external uncertainty.
Beyond near-term risks, the region is undergoing deeper structural transitions. Most notably, the rapid digitalization of financial services presents opportunities for greater financial inclusion and efficiency, while also introducing new challenges to financial stability.
“Digitalization of the banking sector is reshaping the market structure, offering new pathways for inclusion and efficiency,” said Runchana Pongsaparn, AMRO Group Head for Financial Surveillance. “But it also alters the nature and distribution of financial stability risks. Policymakers must adopt a multi-pronged strategy that promotes innovation while managing risks, calibrated to the maturity of each market segment.”
As ASEAN+3 manages near-term uncertainties, AMRO emphasizes the importance of reinforcing policy frameworks, improving transparency, and deepening domestic markets and buffers to mitigate spillover risks from external shocks.
Dr. He concluded: “With coordinated actions and deeper financial cooperation and integration, ASEAN+3 can turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities, and emerge stronger, more connected, and more resilient.”
The ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) is an international organization established to contribute toward securing macroeconomic and financial resilience and stability of the ASEAN+3 region, comprising 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China; Hong Kong, China; Japan; and Korea. AMRO’s mandate is to conduct macroeconomic surveillance, support regional financial arrangements, and provide technical assistance to the members. In addition, AMRO also serves as a regional knowledge hub and provides support to ASEAN+3 financial cooperation.

Jollibee Group advocates for the use of clean energy not only in its own Manufacturing and Logistics facilities but also in its brand stores.
The Brand Finance Sustainability Perceptions Index 2025 ranks global restaurant brands by the value of their sustainability perceptions, derived from brand strength, market research, financial performance, and planet-positive growth.
On top of this, Jollibee Group also marked a significant feat in the Philippines as it earned the top spot among all the Philippine brands in the same Brand Finance ranking.
“This recognition is a reflection of the growing trust that stakeholders around the world place in our commitment to sustainability,” said Pepot Miñana, Jollibee Group’s Global Chief Sustainability Officer. “It is both a joyful moment and affirms our commitment to continue advancing our initiatives on the ground together with our employees, suppliers, franchisees, and partners.”
Joy for Tomorrow sustainability agenda
At the heart of Jollibee Group’s efforts is its “Joy for Tomorrow” sustainability agenda, anchored on three core pillars: Food, People, and Planet. This agenda guides the Group’s strategy and investments across its global operations, including initiatives that promote responsible sourcing, food safety, employee welfare, community support, energy efficiency, and good governance.
In 2024, the company reported significant progress in its sustainability initiatives across its operations. With the leadership of its Philippine Manufacturing and Logistics team, it achieved a 32% reduction in energy consumption, 33% decrease in water use, and a 44% reduction in waste generated per metric ton of products produced compared to the 2020 baseline. It also installed more than 16,800 solar panels, generating approximately 9.1 megawatts of clean energy, and successfully diverted 62% of Philippine manufacturing waste from landfills. In partnership with employee volunteers, the company has planted over 21,500 mangrove propagules, reinforcing its commitment to environmental stewardship and climate resilience.
To support those affected by calamities and disasters, it also distributed 2.68 million meals through FoodAid in 2024. Uplifting the lives of smallholder farmers through the Farmer Entrepreneurship Program (FEP), it has steadily increased its direct vegetable procurement from FEP farmers, who in 2024 supplied 33% of the company’s onion requirements.
Alex Haigh, Managing Director Asia-Pacific, Brand Finance commented, “Sustainability is fast becoming a key driver of how Philippine brands are judged. Jollibee proves that powerful ESG stories – from championing financial inclusion to committing to responsible sourcing – can win hearts locally and make an impact globally. The stage is set for more homegrown brands to amplify their sustainability voice and turn values into lasting customer loyalty.”
Brand Finance is headquartered in London and operates in over 25 countries. Its annual Sustainability Perceptions Index is a key reference for understanding how stakeholder perceptions of sustainability contribute to brand strength in today’s values-driven global economy.
