Political Economy · 2026
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 professional journey has included early experience with PETRONAS, research at EMIR RESEARCH and international policy exposure through the World Bank Group.
Her focus sits at the intersection of economic policy, institutional performance and public decision-making, with particular attention to how national and regional policy choices shape investment, competitiveness, business conditions and long-term economic capability.
Her expertise spans through monetary and fiscal policy, industrial policy, investment, regulatory change and the political economy of reform. Through The Policy Collective, she advises 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.

PRIVATE ADVISORY ENGAGEMENTS
For decisions that carry consequence, clarity is essential.
For decisions that carry consequence, clarity is essential.
The Policy Collective advises institutions confronting complex economic, policy and strategic questions.
Our work is designed for moments when the implications are still emerging, the external environment is shifting, and leadership requires a clear view of what is changing, why it matters, and how it may shape the decisions ahead.
We bring together rigorous economic analysis, policy intelligence and strategic judgement across regulation, industrial policy, investment, competitiveness and regional developments.
Each engagement is structured around the decision at hand, whether through a confidential briefing, commissioned intelligence, strategic assessment or ongoing advisory support.
All engagements are handled with discretion.
Your enquiry will be reviewed privately by The Policy Collective.
