In most years since 1980, global GDP growth has been relatively consistent, generally fluctuating between two and five percent growth from year to year. The most notable exceptions to this were during the Great Recession in 2009, and again in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, where the global economy actually shrank in both of these years. As the world economy continues to deal with the economic impact of the pandemic, as well as the fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the future remains uncertain, however current estimates suggest that annual growth will return to steady figures of around 3 percent in 2029.

What is gross domestic product?

Gross domestic product, or GDP, is an economic measure of a country’s production in time. It includes all goods and services produced by a country and is used by economists to determine the health of a country’s economy. However, since GDP just shows the size of an economy and is not adjusted for the country’s size, this can make direct country comparisons complicated.

In 2024, Indonesia's real gross domestic product grew by around 5.03 percent compared to the previous year. Indonesia's economy on the rise Indonesia is a nation with a growing economy and a steadily increasing population. It is estimated that the total population in Indonesia will surpass 255 million inhabitants by 2016 and continue to grow fast. Indonesia reports the fourth-largest population worldwide, and it is also the fifteenth-largest country by total area. The country's biggest contributor to gross domestic product is the industry, with services close behind. In 2013, industry contributed more than 45 percent to Indonesia's gross domestic product in Indonesia.

Another indicator of economic strength is GDP per capita, which helps to assess the quality of life in a country and the growth of the economy.

Southeast Asia, a tapestry of economic and cultural complexity Historically a critical component of global trade, Southeast Asia is a diverse region with heterogeneous economies. The region comprises ** countries in total. While Singapore is a highly developed country economy and Brunei has a relatively high GDP per capita, the rest of the Southeast Asian countries are characterized by lower GDPs per capita and have yet to overcome the middle-income trap. Malaysia is one of these countries, having reached the middle-income level for many decades but yet to grow incomes proportionally to its economic development. Nevertheless, Southeast Asia’s young population will further drive economic growth across the region’s markets. ASEAN’s economic significance Aiming to promote economic growth, social progress, cultural development, and regional stability, all Southeast Asian countries except for Timor-Leste are part of the political and economic union Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Even though many concerns surround the union, ASEAN has avoided trade conflicts and is one of the largest and most dynamic trade zones globally. Factors such as the growing young population, high GDP growth, a largely positive trade balance, and exemplary regional integration hold great potential for future economic development in Southeast Asia.

This report evaluates the macroeconomic and sector developments of Thailand during the recent decades. It recognizes that Thailand has been extremely successful in managing its economic policy and is now the world's fastest growing economy since the beginning of the 1980~^!!^s. After analyzing the major factors that positively influenced the economic growth, externalities, and the associated costs, this report identifies three major issues confronting policymakers in Thailand: (i) the sustainability of current economic progress; (ii) distribution of income and wealth; and (iii) the environmental impact associated with the deterioration of natural resources and general productive assets, and its effects on personal health resulting from air and water pollution. Finally, the report concludes that open economic policies have allowed Thailand to adjust quickly to changing international and domestic circumstances. Experience suggests that an appropriate institutional framework is in place and that the tradition of sound economic management in Thailand will permit a continuation of high economic growth well into the middle of the present decade that will help sustain social progress to the end of the century.
