1 THE ECONOMIES OF THE ASEAN COUNTRIES The ASEAN countries are among the fastest growing economically in the world. As the world's largest producer of natural rubber, tin, tropical hardwood, palm oil and coconut products, the region has an impressive resource base. Indonesia and Malaysia are net petroleum exporters and Singapore is the world's third largest refining centre. Manufacturing has grown rapidly and, with the planned expansion in areas such as steel, petrochemicals, fertilizer, aluminium and motor vehicles, is likely to become increasingly sophisticated over the 1980s. The ASEAN countries are significantly different in size and level of development. At one extreme, if trends of the past decade continue, Singapore will surpass New Zealand by the mid-1980s and Britain by the late 1980s in terms of GOP per capita. At the other extreme, Indonesia, although growing impressively, is still among the poorest fifty countries in the world. However, for all the countries of the region, the outlook for the 1980s is promising. Furthermore, notwithstanding their differences, they are building up cooperation with each other. Continued strong economic growth will mean increasing trade and investment opportunities for those outside the region. Imports into ASEAN in 1981 were roughly three times those into Australia and nearly equal to those into all South America combined. Foreign investment is welcomed in a number of areas. This book analyzes recent economic developments in the region and the outlook for the 1980s. Separate chapters on each country are self-contained and can be read individually by those not interested in all the countries of the region. At the same time the book is written so as to allow the reader to make comparisons among the five countries and to give a picture of the region as a whole. It is aimed at all those, such as business people, officials, teachers and students, with an interest in economic developments in the region.
2 Brian Wawn set up his own consultancy/publishing firm in 1981, having resigned the previous year from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Canberra, for whom he had worked since His overseas postings were in Laos, Sri Lanka and West Germany, and he worked a good deal on ASEAN issues, notably in Canberra between 1975 and 19n. While in Laos (1971-3) he was also involved with Thailand. He was a member of the Australian delegation to the annual meeting of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) held in Bangkok in 1976 and to the Special Session of the UN General Assembly on North-South issues held in New York in 1980.
