Notes from Asean Economic Community 2015: Progress and Achievements

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Key to leveraging productivity is to build capacity in skills by facilitating free flow of skilled labour across the region. Asean is looking at promoting the movement of professionals and skilled workers in the logistics and transport sector within asean member States.


KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

TOWARDS SINGLE GOODS MARKET

Eliminate trade bottlenecks by removing Tariffs, reducing paperwork and cutting the waiting time s of getting products to markets and reducing risks associated with consigning goods.

Significant progress has been made in tariff elimination. By 2010, ASEAN-6 (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand) have eliminated import duties among themselves. To date, ASEAN-6 have eliminated their intra-regional tariffs, with 99.2% at 0%.

For CLMV (Cambodia, Lao, Myanmar and Vietnam, the figure stands at 90.86%, giving an ASEAN average of 95.99%


KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

TOWARDS SINGLE GOODS MARKET

Tariff elimination alone does not create an open market.

Simplification of Rules of Origin

ASEAN Self-Certification projects (by traders and manufacturers), giving certified exporters the freedom to declare that their products have met ASEAN origin criteria, to benefit from trade preference under ATIGA.

All 10 Member States are on board one of the two Self Certification Pilot projects.


KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

ATIGA Form D (ASW) Trade Facilitation across borders

5 member States have tested the exchange of trade data and information (ATIGA Form D), using ASW platform through their NSW. Single point of entry for trade related documents to be submitted to speed up Customs clearances and reduce transaction times and costs.

Capacity building in skills through MRAs

8 MRAs have been concluded. LTSSWG is working on the movement of Professionals and skilled workers in the logistics and transport industry among Asean Member States.


KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Towards a Connected AEC

A competitive economic region is a

connected region.

To stay competitive, transport times and

distribution costs need to be reduced

through infrastructure development.

Support for physical infrastructure

(highways, railways, airports, etc) as well as

cross-border agreements and

institutional connectivity.

SKRL (Singapore-Kunming Rail Link) links ASEAN with

China over 7000 km.

ASEAN Highway Network provides vital

support for trade facilitation, investment

opportunities and tourism.


KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

ASEAN Open Skies as part of ASEAN Single Aviation Market, facilitating the movement of people and goods in timely manner.

Scope for expansion of services and more opportunities for air travel within the region.

A strong ICT infrastructure with pervasive connectivity enables the creation of a business-enabling ASEAN environment.

Recognised as a key driver in the region’s economic and social transformation and conducive to attracting and promoting trade.

ASEAN will prioritise efforts in bridging the digital gap.


KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

An Inclusive AEC for Enterprises of All Sizes

To support SME’s participation in global

value chains, ASEAN has put in place the ASEAN

Benchmark for SME Credit Rating Methodology SME

Service Centre, ASEAN SME Policy Index and

ASEAN Common Curriculum for

Entrepreneurship.

SMEs comprise over 90% of enterprises in ASEAN.

Backbone of ASEAN economies.

Responsible for generating employment for majority of ASEAN’s

working population.

AEC to enhance competitiveness and expansion of SMEs particularly through improved access to

finance, markets, human resources, information and

advisory services, technology and innovation.


KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

A globally engaged ASEAN

Well-positioned at the centre of global production networks, ASEAN seeks to link with major regional economies through the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). With combined GDP of about USD 22.7 trillion, 30% of global output, RCEP has the potential to transform the region into the world’s largest integrated market of about 3.4 billion people.

When concluded, there would be benefits from improvements in market access, trade facilitation, regulatory reforms and more trade-facilitative rules of origin.

ASEAN is ready! Are we ready?
