**SEA Weekly** brings you an audio version of the SEA Weekly newsletter by Chloe Tan and Miguel Santos, analyzing the major events and developments reshaping Southeast Asia's digital economy and industrial landscape each week.
Rather than surface-level recaps, these episodes dig into the underlying patterns: the infrastructure being built beneath consumer apps, the supply chains powering regional manufacturing, the regulatory frameworks governments are writing, and the flows of capital and FDI reshaping Southeast Asia.

SEAWeekly - Ep 33: Budget Credibility, Kota Kinabalu, and the AI Budget Signal
Emily Chen talks with Chloe Tan about why ASEAN budget season is now a credibility test at the funding line, not a competition in headline spending. Most of the episode stays with Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, before a shorter detour through Kota Kinabalu travel logic and enterprise artificial intelligence budgeting to show how low-friction execution wins across very different lanes.
