ASEAN Business Advisory Council Philippines Chair Jose Ma. Concepcion III called for a more inclusive and borderless ASEAN digital economy, as reported by Philstar Biz. He emphasized the need to bridge digital divides across the region.
Concepcion noted that while digital transformation has accelerated, many small businesses and rural communities still lack access. Inclusive growth requires infrastructure investment and policy coordination among ASEAN member states.
The push for inclusivity aligns with broader efforts to integrate ASEAN markets and harness digital trade for equitable development, according to the report.
