*Sinopsis*

Impact of COVID-19 on ASEAN-5 Economy: Strategy and Policy offers a comprehensive analysis of the diverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on five ASEAN nations—Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, and Cambodia. The book investigates how the pandemic created both a health crisis and a socioeconomic downturn, leading to increased poverty, unemployment, and structural economic challenges.

Organized into thematic chapters, the book addresses the pandemic’s impacts on poverty levels, healthcare systems, labor markets, gender inequality, income disparities, and economic vulnerabilities. It highlights country-specific trends based on empirical data, showcasing both common and unique policy responses. Particular attention is given to fiscal and monetary strategies, social assistance programs, and infrastructure investments in response to the economic shock.

The book also reviews key government interventions—such as cash transfers, wage subsidies, and the adoption of digital tools—as part of the recovery process. It includes pandemic impact assessments, early warning signs of economic instability, and forward-looking strategies for fostering sustainable, inclusive, and resilient economies.

Ideal for policymakers, development practitioners, economists, and scholars in crisis management and Southeast Asian development, this resource underscores the urgent need for policy coordination, adaptive governance, and strategic human-capital investment to support recovery in the post-pandemic era.
