Which countries are in ASEAN?

The 10 members are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Timor-Leste was admitted in principle and is completing its accession roadmap.

When was ASEAN founded?

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations was founded on 8 August 1967 by five members — Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand — through the Bangkok Declaration. The other five joined between 1984 and 1999.

Which is the largest ASEAN economy?

Indonesia is the largest by both GDP and population, making up roughly a third of the bloc's combined output. Singapore has the highest GDP per capita despite its small size.

Are the figures exact?

No. GDP and population figures are rounded approximations that shift year to year with growth and exchange rates. Treat them as orders of magnitude rather than precise accounts.

Is this data sent anywhere?

No. The table and sorting run entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged or stored.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations

ASEAN is a regional bloc of 10 Southeast Asian member states promoting economic integration and political cooperation. This reference lists each member with its capital, the year it joined, approximate nominal GDP and population, and lets you sort to compare them.

How it works

Each member carries an accession year — 1967 for the five founders who signed the Bangkok Declaration — plus an approximate nominal GDP in US dollars and a population figure. Sorting reorders the table by GDP, population or year joined. The bloc total population is shown for context.
