The broadly positive outlooks highlighted in the latest OBG Business Barometer: ASEAN CEO Survey indicate that ASEAN’s mix of aspirational consumers, digital natives and abundant natural resources continues to hold the promise of high returns. One factor that could nevertheless prevent the region from reaching its full potential is the significant skills gap observed in each country. Wholesale changes to national curricula may thus be in order, so that the emerging ASEAN economies can successfully cultivate the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders with the vision to drive inclusive, sustainable growth.
