ASEAN and Pacific SIDS are at the opposite ends of the connectivity spectrum in terms of maritime connectivity. Given their central position along key major trade routes ASEAN countries are better connected. Within this subregion, there is a clear three-level hierarchy of countries, with Singapore and Malaysia among the top 10 best connected countries, leveraging their strategic position along the Malacca strait and as important transhipment hubs connecting South Asia and East Asia. An intermediate category of countries among the global top 50 (Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia) have seen significant changes in their connectivity levels since 2006. Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia and Myanmar feature among ASEAN least connected countries.
