The latest findings based on the study on the Covid-19 Impact on SEA Economy & Consumer Spending reveals that:-

• Most countries are optimistic about income recovery, except for Malaysia and Thailand where income stability sentiment has declined after the resurgence of COVID-19
• Concern on the impact on income if there is a resurgence of COVID-19 cases remains heightened through SEA
• Spending intent remains muted on large purchases. Behavior is shifting from ‘pandemic routine’ to  ‘small indulgences’
• Efficient roll out of vaccination can build economic optimism as in the case of Singapore. Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand needs more confident building measures
