Asean Warns of AI Market Risks Amid Diverging Economic Impacts in Asia
Asean's macroeconomic office warns Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and South Korea face significant risks from a potential AI market correction due to their central role in global AI supply chains and financial markets. The AI boom has widened the current account gap between North and Southeast Asia, with Taiwan and Korea benefiting from high-value chip exports, while Southeast Asia experiences deficits linked to import-heavy data center investments and lower-value manufacturing. These dynamics increase Southeast Asia's vulnerability to economic shocks and currency risks amid global uncertainties.
