This study also found both real effective exchange rate and labor force participation rate have a negative and statistically significant impact on export performance. The findings suggest that governance indicators play a significant role in economic development particularly the trade openness, therefore, it's substantial for South East Asia countries to engage more economic integration policy to enhance export performance.
