The digital economy in ASEAN is projected to increase to around US$330 billion in 2025, supported by the implementation of the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA) in 2025 with Malaysia as ASEAN Chair.
The projection is made considering the ASEAN region has large natural energy resources that can drive global energy demand. That is a huge advantage for ASEAN. As part of sustainability, we must also encourage a carbon credit market in ASEAN.
