As such, ASEAN YTD sales turned from a declining of 2% YoY in January – April to the positive territory at 1% YoY in January – May. Briefly, the improvements were largely driven by positive sales growth in Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. In contrast, Vietnam LV sales remain weak while the Thai LV market was virtually flat.
