The Southeast Asian Economics Project is a student-led initiative which aims to transform how economics is delivered, learned, and applied across Southeast Asia and the world. Since our inception in September 2025, we have been building a comprehensive platform that reimagines economics, not just as an academic discipline confined to classrooms, but as a powerful analytical toolkit for understanding complex systems and driving evidence-based change. We aim to equip students from lower secondary, upper secondary, pre-university and all the way up to university students with rigorous quantitative capabilities and theoretical frameworks that span the full spectrum of economic thought from foundational principles to advanced empirical methods. 

Our approach bridges classical economic theory with cutting-edge analytical techniques, while grounding analysis in the institutional realities and historical contexts that shape Southeast Asian and the world economies. Through competitive platforms, educational programs, and research initiatives that cross borders and bridge communities, we aim to cultivate a generation of young economists who master sophisticated analytical tools, understand the evolution of economic institutions, and apply their expertise to address the region's most pressing challenges with both technical precision and contextual awareness.
