2 FOCUS THE AEC IS HERE, FINALLY This is the first of a 3-part series on the Economic Community (AEC), and discusses the economic potential of in view of the implementation of the AEC at end-15. We highlight the favourable demographic and income trends that will promote economies as one of the top regions to invest as a key production base as well as a large consumer market for global corporates. The second & third part of this series will be published in our next quarterly report (1Q16) and will outline the potential trade and investment opportunities in over the next decades, as well as a discussion of the closer integration between and as a result of several on-going initiatives such as the One-belt, One-road, AIIB, and the AEC. AEC Is A Journey, Not A Bus-Stop The commencement of the Economic Community (AEC) at the end of 15 will usher in a new era of cooperation and business opportunities among the grouping s ten members. The AEC will play a crystalizing role for the region as it aims to achieve objectives of a 1) single market and production base; 2) highly competitive economic region; 3) region of equitable economic development; and 4) region fully integrated into the global economy. This integration project will bring to the table a unified economic platform with more than 6 million population, and nominal GDP value of US$2.5 trillion (in 14), which accounts for a 3.2% share of global GDP of US$77 trillion. If were a country, it would be the world s 6th largest economy, just ahead of Brazil, though still lagging far behind the US (the world s largest), and the second largest, (Exhibit 1). Much had been talked about the AEC and there had been skepticism on the grounds that the AEC is just a marketing hype and will not bring much material benefit for its members. We are aware that the AEC itself is not a panacea the moment it is launched. Rather, the AEC is the beginning of a long process of integration that leverages each other s strength, and providing a guiding mandate for all the ten member states to move towards the objectives mentioned above. But at the same time, it is also clear to the member states that any other alternatives would be sub-optimal to the AEC solution. Issues such as productivity, competitiveness, market size, among others, will be key surviving factors to work on for countries in the increasingly competitive environment where rising economic powers like and India, and other emerging economies are also vying for a piece of the global trade and investment pie. s Economic Size To Exceed By 25 With the dynamism and scale of an integrated region, our projections show that even by growing annually at just about 2/3 of the pace that it experienced during the 1-14 period, the size of the 1-member s economy could reach nearly US$3.9 trillion by (the size of Germany in 14), and would be more than three times larger by 3, at US$8.1 trillion (twice the size of Germany in 14). This means that along the way in the AEC journey, s economy would be larger than that of the UK, and would overtake that of by 25 (Exhibit 2). This would make one of the world s fastest growing consumer markets as more enter the middle class status.

3 FOCUS EXHIBIT 3: Most of Economies Experiencing The Demographic Sweet Spot Laos Philippines Cambodia Malaysia Indonesia Vietnam Myanmar Brunei Thailand South Korea Singapore Hong Kong Source: UN World Population Prospect, UOB Global Economics & Markets Research As a side note, we also anticipate s economy to expand to US$28 trillion by 3, just shy of the US economy s size of US$29 trillion, but would have exceeded Eurozone s economic size of about US$ trillion by then. We believe that these projections for are achievable, going by recent developments in, including the opening up of Myanmar to the international community, presidential election in Indonesia, the stronger mandate given to the ruling party in Singapore, the return of stability in Thailand after the military coup that ousted former PM Yingluck, among others. In addition, the lesser developed members such as Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and also Vietnam, have plenty of room for growth and to catch up given their low starting bases. We expect that pro-business policy will continue to be pursued by various member states within, especially within the guiding framework of AEC that helps to promote free flow of goods, services, investment, the freer flow of skilled labour, as well as freer flow of capital, all of which would serve to make the region as an enlarged production base and a consumer market. Driving Factors For s Growth Story Large, Young Population Base If having a large population of more than 6 million is an advantage, then having a predominantly young population is the trump card. The median age of the population today is 28.9 years, more favourable than that of more advanced nations such as (46.5 years), Germany (46.3 years), Italy (45 years), Hong Kong (43.2 years), U.S. (4.8 years), and even (36 years). Even in 3, population s median age will just be 33.6 years, a considerably youthful workforce and consumer base. In fact, a number of economies are currently experiencing what we term as the demographic sweet spot a term that describes the period when the working population surpasses 1 the non-working population. That means, the dependency ratio of the economy is low. Exhibit 3 displays the demographic sweet spot for selected countries. For instance, was in the sweet spot from the early-196s to the mid-199s. During this time, we witnessed the quick economic expansion and wealth accumulation led by a youthful ese workforce and heavy investments in high value added and innovative industries. It is estimated that when countries are in the sweet spot, economic growth averages 1% p.a. However, exited the sweet spot in the mid-199s as the population greyed and baby boomers retired. Long term consumption growth slowed and the economy endured a multi-decade deflationary spiral. In contrast, many economies are still experiencing the sweet spot. In fact, some economies have a population that is still so young that they will only be in the sweet spot many years later. The demographic sweet spot can be a useful tool for corporates to plan their next production base and/ or target market (or even to put weightage to their marketing budget). However, we do not advise using it as the only tool, as it is unwise to invest based on only one factor namely, demography. members are very different in various aspects such as culture, governance, risk, infrastructure divide, 1 Defined as the period when the population under 15 years of age drops below 3%, and the population over 65 years of age is less than 15%.

4 FOCUS wealth disparity, and social acceptance of capitalism. For instance, Exhibit 4 shows the disparity amongst economies across several metrics, and this could be daunting for a new corporate entering into these markets. Moreover, average demographic trends may not tell us much about the distribution of population. Different industries may cater to economies at different stages of economic growth. For example, although FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) companies dealing in baby products may not do as well in, while geriatrics-related healthcare products/services could do better. Rising Urbanisation Rate & Growing Middle Income Class Urbanisation is an important driver of economic growth and it is said that no country has ever gone from low-income to middle-income status without experiencing significant rural-urban migration. Today, less than half (47.6%) of the population lives in urbanised areas. This is still some way off from the average urbanisation rate of 51.3% for middleincome countries, and certainly is still a long way off from the 8.4% rate for high-income countries (Exhibit 5). But herein, lies the opportunity that has for global corporates. Over the next 15 years to 3, will experience one of the fastest growth in urbanization rates amongst major regions of the world (Exhibit 6), as income growth and wealth accumulation accelerates. There are a few reasons to why the prosperity of a nation goes hand-in-hand with urbanization. First, as rural workers leave self-sufficient farming jobs and work in the manufacturing and services jobs in cities, national productivity levels improves due to the training they receive and the higher value added EXHIBIT 5: Urbanisation Rates Across Of Different Income Tiers EXHIBIT 6: Will Enjoy One Of The Fastest Growth In Urbanization Over The Next 15 Years % Urbanisation High-income countries Middle-income countries Low-income countries % Growth in Urbanisation Oceania.8 N.

With that, they will earn higher wages and GDP grows over the years. Second, the products/services and factors of production in self-sufficient farming are not compiled in the country s national accounts as they are not traded. With rural-urban migration, workers partake in formal business settings where the costs of production and profits from the sale of products/ services are properly recorded and compiled as GDP. This also increases the government s coffers in the form of revenue inflows from both direct and indirect taxes, and will generate indirect stimulus to the economy in the form of future government expenditure. Third, as the new urban worker remits a part of their now-higher income back to their rural families, investments in rural infrastructure (such as housing and sanitation) and farming machinery further improves the productivity of the agriculture industries. More efficient farming techniques will produce surplus agricultural stock and will thus be traded and higher incomes earned in the process. Fourth, increased incomes of the urban dwellers will see an upgrade in their tastes and preferences and where better quality products will be in higher demand. The higher expectations and the willingness and ability to pay more for better and safer food products (think: organic food products) will further improve the profit margins of the agricultural sector and further contribute to stronger economic activities. Indeed, using our analysis of data across 135 countries and over time (5-year periods from 198 to forecasts of ), we found a mildly-strong and positive correlation between the rates of urbanisation and per capita income (proxied by nominal GDP in EXHIBIT 8: The Rise Of The Middle Income In EXHIBIT 8: The Rise Of The Middle Income In Mil Pax India LatAm 1 3 % India LatAm 1 3 Source: ADB Institute; Note: Middle Income = daily expenditure of US$1 to US$1 Source: ADB Institute; Note: Middle Income = daily expenditure of US$1 to US$1 Quarterly Global Outlook 4Q15 UOB Global Economics & Markets Research 19
6 FOCUS USD) (Exhibit 7). The growth path of the selected countries in Exhibit 7 further illustrates the positive relationship across time. The combination of abundant and low cost labour and the economic integration of economies brought about by the AEC will see more global manufacturers setting up production bases in. With inbound technological transfers, capital investments and human capital investments, promises of higher wages in the manufacturing sector will draw migrant workers from rural areas into urban cities, and eventually increasing the urbanisation rates of developing economies. Growing income and accumulated wealth will in turn create a new and savvy group of consumers that will attract global firms to market their goods and services. In fact, the Asian Development Bank estimated that by 3, nearly half a billion of the population in will be classified as middle income class. This represents close to 65% of the population by then, from 29% of the population in 1 (Exhibit 8). With rising income and standards of living, the consumer will be an important consideration in the game plans for global corporates. The prospect behind and the AEC looks promising. However, one of the commonly talked about problems when global corporates look to invest in is the lack of infrastructure development, making it hard to achieve market access. For instance, there is only 1.5 km of roads per 1, persons in today, compared to 211.7km (per 1, persons) for the rest of Asia. For rail-roads, there is only.27 km per 1, people in, compared to 5.21 km (per 1, persons) for the rest of Asia. Only 71.7% of has access to electricity, comparing with 99.8% for the rest of Asia. That said, this present impediment does not mean that the lack of infrastructure will be a continuous issue for. On the contrary, we think that the existing under-investment and the promise of good returns in investing in the story will see a lot more infrastructure investment. In the next two part of this series, we will discuss the investment potential in as well as the increase in intra-regional trade that will arise from the increasing trend in production fragmentation in the region as corporates take advantage of each member s factor abundance and comparative advantage amid the zero-tariff environment. We will also discuss the closer integration between and as a result of several on-going initiatives such as the One-belt, One-road, AIIB, and the AEC.
