frameworks for political cooperation. (e.g. ASEAN+3 Summit, AEM+3)

2 . Background of Establishing EAMS
b) Economic Growth in East Asiab) Economic Growth in East Asia High intra-regional trade ratio in ASEAN+3 (1980: 34.9% → 2003: 52.4%) Vertical production and distribution networks (A qualitative characteristic of manufacturing sector) Rapid growth of economic power in the world (East Asia’s share of global trade is approaching NAFTA’
s.)
The political cooperation bodies need more accurate, comparable statistics for making regional policies.
The Economic growth is attracting private sector’s, academy's and government’s attention globally to East Asia.

c) Manufacturing Industry in East Asiac) Manufacturing Industry in East Asia More than 30% of the world manufacturing products has been produced
in East Asia in this 20 (or more) years. Manufacturing industry occupies a large proportion of the whole value
added in each country in comparison to the other regions.
In East Asia, manufacturing industry is extremely important both domestically and internationally.

Although each country essentially uses either ISIC Rev.3 or its own industrial classification based on ISIC Rev.3, detailed evaluation of 4-digit data shows that the number of industries that are actually comparable is relatively low.
Number of industries under ISIC Rev.3 Section D (manufacturing
industry) (4-digit)
Number of such industries that are comparable
between ASEAN countries
Number of such industries that are comparable between ASEAN
countries, China, Japan and ROK
12748 ( 3
8% ) 36 ( 28% )“Actually comparable” here refers to industries that correspond to one item of data under one category (class) of ISIC (rather than being bundled together with other categories), excluding other differences such as definition, statistical unit, scale of survey subject, survey method and so on .
