Areas of Potential Impact Investment Intervention in the ASEAN Frontier Markets

Chapter 4 in Impact Investment Funds for Frontier Markets in Southeast Asia, 2015, pp 79-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Beyond their advantages of natural resources and demographics, the four frontier economies of Southeast Asia could benefit from an inflow of foreign capital to strengthen their economic capacity, which could introduce network effects for sustainable growth into their development agenda. Capital should be accessible to a broad base of the population, not just the elite who controls access to natural resources. At the same time, those who receive capital should adhere to financial standards and transparency. Motivated social entrepreneurs will therefore have a chance to prove they can allocate investment capital efficiently. Impact investment may be the ideal technology for this purpose.
