Mufli wrote the article based on the aim of implementing economic integration in the Southeast Asian region through ASEAN Economic Community, namely realizing the ASEAN Vision 2020 by establishing a single currency system.

For this reason, an in-depth study is needed regarding the feasibility of Southeast Asian countries to form a single currency through the theory of monetary integration which was popularized by Robert Mundell (1961) under the name of the theory of Optimum Currency Area.
