Insights across South East Asia

<li>Persistent overcapacity in industry and real-estate has resulted in a spreading crisis among  shadow-banks, as many of them begin defaulting on investment products (pseudo-deposits). Moral hazard rules out government rescues. </li>
<li>As global supply chains abandon China-centricity, exports continue losing global market share. But with domestic demand weak, the annualized trade surplus is US$900bn, much of it leaking as capital flight. </li>
<li>FAI is decelerating (adjusting to industrial capacity). Shrinking working age population requires productivity to be main driver of growth. Japanified decade ahead likely, but with RGDP growth settling at 3%. </li>

On August 9th, President Biden signed an executive order which addresses investment from US companies and individuals into China.
The executive order is a follow-up on the October 7, 2022 order to ban exports of advanced chips and other strategic technology, but the executive order focuses on investment in Chinese firms that operate in these areas, which was seen as a loophole in the October 7 order.
The Investment Screening order stipulates certain areas that are simply banned from investments, some areas where the government needs to be notified and then some areas that are completely exempt.
