The specific trade and economic details about the ASEAN country bloc are widely unknown to many European companies. A range of topics and issues exist, therefore it is essential to be aware of them before entering the ASEAN market. However, such information is normally not easy to grasp due to the variety of sources that present it in different forms, as well as the time involved in gathering it. To help European businesses in their information gathering and analysis, EuroCham created this simple to use and fully equipped database with relevant market entry and expansion data. In particular, topics include general macroeconomic data, trade information, legal environment characteristics, the Cost of Doing Business, and useful trade contacts. In order to ensure the most up-to-date information for our users, EuroCham has chosen to provide links to the relevant sources.
