东南亚掀起第四波区域增长

新加坡有一个经常出现的笑话:中美贸易战已经结束,「而越南成为赢家。」

事实上,贸易战并无缓解迹象,即使中美两国受疫情重创,但彼此间持续针锋相对。

十年来,所有的目光都聚焦在中国,但现在全球增长的重点正转向东南亚,即是中国以南和印度以东的10个国家和接近7亿人口。如果每个地区都有机会出现经济、人口及地缘政治完全配合的时刻,那么现在可能轮到东南亚。

随著快速的城市化和工业化、年轻的人口结构、广泛的数码化、越来越多的教育机会和女权上升,东南亚即将在全球获得新的地位。这主要由于战后亚洲国家互相巩固增长,一国的成功能够产生涟漪效应。

60%

目前东南亚国家占亚洲贸易总额的百分比︰边界限制已解除,但贫困依旧。

日本经济率先飞速上升,其次是称为「亚洲四小龙」的南韩、台湾、香港和新加坡崛起。这些地区促使和引发对中国的投资,使中国成为亚洲最大的增长中心。现在这些地区都投资于东南亚。

东南亚国家联盟(东盟)10个成员国与印度、日本、澳洲和中国共同组成超级区域,按购买力平价计算,它们占全球国内生产总值近40%。中国与东南亚国家的贸易量高于对美国的贸易量;实际上,邻近国家比反复无常的泱泱大国更可靠。其创投资本家也认为该区充满机遇︰例如,数据供应商Refinitiv表示,2019年上半年,创投资本家对科技公司投资逾6.5亿美元。

美国企业也正向东南亚倾斜。尽管美国总统特朗普在2017年决定美国退出《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》(TPP)(其他成员国包括日本、澳洲和越南),但美国从越南的进口持续增长。2019年,美国从越南进口按年增长40%,中国进口则下降逾20%。

1,500亿美元

2019年对东南亚的外国直接投资

由于美国没有签署《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》,万事达卡、高通、埃克森和辉瑞等公司在亚洲进行更多投资。只有这样,它们才能获得签署后续《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》的其他竞争国家所享有的待遇。2019年,东南亚的外国直接投资为1,500亿美元,仅次于中国的2,000亿美元,但领先于印度的500亿美元。

随著欧盟寻求在现有新加坡协议的基础上与东盟达成贸易协议,加上英国脱欧后致力在亚洲建立更大影响力,因此外国直接投资将会增加。 由于中国市场规模庞大和效率高企,在中国投资将仍具吸引力,但贸易战和疫情突显依赖单一国家的风险。愈来愈多公司选择「在销售之处进行生产」。

资产管理公司和私募股权公司是时候扩大对亚洲新兴市场的配置

不少跨国公司希望投资于东南亚以作出多元化配置,从而获得对冲优势,以及进入高速增长的东南亚市场。南韩在疫情爆发后将更多生产程序转往越南,在此之前,三星已经在当地制造手机。诚然,像苹果这样拥有复杂生产程序的公司,暂时无法在其他地方达到富士康于中国郑州「iPhone城」的相同品质和产量。但在疫情肆虐前,苹果也在越南寻找建立类似经济特区的机会。

预计越南2020年的经济增长约为5%。然而,越南国内生产总值仅高于2,000亿美元,是富裕的亚洲地区中较贫穷的国家之一。 拥有丰富资源的印尼国内生产总值超过1万亿美元,泰国国内生产总值升至5,000亿美元;新加坡国内生产总值与香港相若,接近3,500亿美元;马来西亚和菲律宾国内生产总值超过3,000亿美元。麦肯锡(McKinsey)表示,贫困和边境限制过去使东南亚国家之间的贸易量维持低企,但目前东南亚占亚洲贸易总额的60%。边界限制已解除,但贫困依旧。

同时,如果东盟是一个国家,它将会是全球贫富悬殊差距最大的国家,其中新加坡和汶莱的财富极丰厚:每年人均收入超过80,000美元,而缅甸和巴布亚新几内亚的每年人均收入不足3,000美元。

然而,与西方不同的是,东南亚国家通过投资基建、教育、就业、流动银行和农业发展等领域来解决贫困问题。

新冠疫情将影响出口订单量,但与1998年或2008年相比,东盟国家现今更能抵御风暴

2008年亚洲金融危机普遍出现的问题是:西方需求下降将打击依赖出口业的亚洲经济体。事实上,亚洲继续推行1998年危机后开始的改革,致力建立贸易顺差和外汇储备,在控制通胀的同时转向灵活的汇率制度。2008年至2009年的出口收缩35%,但因增长和贸易壁垒降低而抵消。

新冠疫情将影响出口订单,例如服装和汽车零件,但与1998年或2008年相比,东盟国家现今更能抵御风暴。

首先,它们并非依赖与西方的贸易,而是成员国之间以及与中国、日本和印度的贸易。虽然中国的增长已经放缓,但从邻国进口的产品增加。同样重要的是,大多数亚洲经济体现在以服务为基础,庞大的人口和消费所推动的增长超过贸易带来的增长。

鉴于美元走强,全球资产管理公司和私募股权公司是时候扩大对亚洲新兴市场的配置;该市场的货币较疲弱,相比起西方国家,能够以较低成本取得业务。虽然公司债务上升,但目前大部分债务以当地货币计算,意味著外界对美国利率上升引发「缩减恐慌」的忧虑已经消退。

制造业、房地产、银行、科技和农业均已发展成熟,可以注入外国专业知识,在坚实的资产和客户基础下发展。在思考未来几十年的亚洲发展前景时,最恰当的说法是︰亚洲曾经有利我们发展,现在我们会在其中发展。
