Rising consumer demand, strategic reforms, and a wave of digital acceleration are turning Southeast Asia into one of the most watched regions for foreign investment. ETL GLOBAL Member Dezan Shira & Associates explores this momentum in their latest edition of “Doing Business in ASEAN 2025”, offering a practical guide for companies eyeing opportunity in the ASEAN-6 markets.

This year’s edition places special focus on data protection, reflecting the growing importance of regulatory compliance in Southeast Asia’s digital economy. Alongside this, the guide covers recent changes in corporate establishment procedures, tax rules, employment regulations, and foreign ownership restrictions. It also outlines key developments in reporting standards and digital business frameworks across the ASEAN-6. Together, these updates offer a clear view of the practical requirements facing foreign investors in the region.

Whether you’re planning to enter the market or looking to strengthen your existing operations, Doing Business in ASEAN 2025 offers practical direction on meeting legal obligations, adapting to regulatory change, and assessing new business opportunities. The guide is a useful reference for decision-makers seeking clarity in a region that continues to attract international investment.
