Navigating Malaysia’s 2025: ASEAN Trade Outlook

On January 23, 2025, AMCHAM hosted the second session of its Navigating Malaysia’s 2025 program, focusing on ASEAN’s trade dynamics and Malaysia’s leadership as ASEAN Chair. This session delved into the challenges and opportunities shaping trade across the region and the pathways for advancing economic growth.

She provided actionable insights for businesses navigating the region’s complex trade landscape, with a special focus on Malaysia’s leadership role.
