LEADERSHIP
Alissa Azizi
FOUNDER & CHIEF ECONOMIST,
THE POLICY COLLECTIVE
Alissa Azizi is the Founder and Chief Economist of The Policy Collective, an independent policy intelligence and advisory firm focusing on Malaysia and its position within the wider ASEAN economy.
Trained in economics at the University of Sydney, her work examines how economic policy, institutional performance and public decision making shape real economic outcomes. Her focus is on translating national and regional policy choices into implications for investment, competitiveness, business conditions and long term economic capability.
Her work spans fiscal policy, industrial policy, investment, regulatory change and the political economy of reform. Through The Policy Collective, she helps businesses, financial institutions and public sector organisations understand how policy moves through the economy, where risks and opportunities are emerging, and what those changes mean for strategic decisions.
At the heart of her work is a broader question: whether the policy choices being made today are strengthening the institutions, productive capabilities and economic foundations that will determine how countries compete, adapt and prosper in the decades ahead.
