ASEAN ministers convene to shore up supply chains amid Indo‑Pacific shipping risks
On 18 November 2025, trade and economics ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) met in Singapore to address rising disruptions in maritime logistics across the Indo‑Pacific region. Key concerns include container‑shortages, transit‑route bottlenecks and rising freight‑cost risk ahead of peak season demand. Delegates committed to digitalising ports, diversifying freight corridors and creating logistics buffers to enhance resilience.
Market watchers say the move could ease inflation pressures in export‑oriented sectors and strengthen regional trade integration.
