Most regional growth reports rely on lagged government statistics. At PanAsia Metrics, we address the conflict between speed and accuracy by synthesizing on-the-ground trade volume with traditional indicator models.
To deliver reliable data projections that factor in the informal economies and supply chain nuances unique to Thailand and the broader ASEAN region.
We acknowledge where data ends and estimation begins. We do not offer absolute certainty; we offer statistically significant probability ranges based on proprietary regional growth benchmarks.
Based in Bangkok, we maintain direct lines to local industry chambers. This ensures our economic forecasts reflect legislative shifts before they appear in international media.
Focusing specifically on Southeast Asian emerging markets allows us to identify cross-border correlations that global generalist firms frequently overlook.
Every projection is stress-tested against historical volatility markers. Our models are retuned quarterly to account for localized inflationary pressures and currency fluctuations.
Projected annual growth rates and fiscal indicators for key regional hubs based on Jan–Feb 2026 data projections.

Common Misconception
"ASEAN growth is tied exclusively to export demand from Western markets."
Our Data Evidence
Intra-regional trade now accounts for over 28% of GDP across the core five ASEAN economies, creating a buffer against global shocks.
Common Misconception
"Data projections for frontier markets are too volatile to be actionable."
Our Data Evidence
Volatility is often the result of low-frequency data reporting. By increasing monitoring frequency to weekly intervals, we reduce forecasting error margins to under 4.5%.
