I am talking about an imaginary country which is a member of Asean. This country may or may not exist. To avoid unnecessary negative repercussions, this country shall remain nameless and be referred to as country "N" with its currency "D". This country is the star of Asean with a 5-year average GDP growth rate of 7% prior to the Covid outbreak.

Even during the outbreak, the country was able to maintain growth close to 3.0%. The World Bank projected that its 2022 GDP growth would be 7.2%, the highest among Asean countries.
