For the last seven years, Asean Focus Group and now the merged AFG Venture Group have conducted a survey to monitor the perceptions which businerss people hold about selected Asian countries as commercial targets for foreign investment and trade. The information has been an important input to decision makers in various markets.

The last two years have been particularly interesting with the continued emergence of China, India and Vietnam; the political disruption in Thailand and to a lesser extent Malaysia and the continuing uncertainty created by the global credit crunch. These events have the potential to impact on commercial activities, and it will be interesting to monitor any impacts.
