Southeast Asian economy has been growing fast since last three decades which bring some countries in this region, transforming significantly from developing to modernized and industrialized countries.  The other remaining countries are also transforming from less developed to developing and even semi-industrialized countries.  Southeast Asian countries have formed the well-known Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) since 1967 that somehow contributed to the rapid economic growth in member countries.  Economic growth in this region has brought the ASEAN member countries better in terms of welfare and prosperity. However, since the 1997 economic crisis, the Southeast Asian Economy is always facing many different challenges. This indicates that economic foundation is not strong enough and remains questionable in the future of the region.  Southeast Asia is also not immune toward external factors. For example, the recent global financial affects this region directly which creates some difficulties for the domestic economy of the countries in this region.

In establishing the AEC, ASEAN shall act in accordance to the principles of open, outward-looking, inclusive, and market-driven economy consistent with multilateral rules as well as adherence to rules-based systems for effective compliance and implementation of economic commitments.
