MITI in the newsIn early 2006, the ASEAN senior economic officials were given this challenge by their Ministers: craft the economic future of the grouping; an economic community not by 2020, as stipulated in ASEAN Vision 2020, but in 2015. Thus began the work towards an economically integrated ASEAN. Translation: the free movement of goods and services; and freer movement of capital and talents among the 10 member states. In 2006, when the proposal to push for the realization of the AEC in 2015 was mooted, it made economic sense.

ASEAN moviNg oN with EcoNomic iNtEgrAtioN

We had just come out of a major economic crisis, and initiatives towards the ASEAN Free Trade Area were well on the way. We were looking forward to the next steps towards deeper economic integration. So we drew up the AEC Blueprint as the guiding framework. And the AEC Scorecard to ensure that we did what we said we were going to do. And in all fairness we have worked tirelessly to ensure that implementation was on track.

But as 2015 dawns on us, we are confronted with questions about the very essence of the AEC. Economic pressures brought on by global economic uncertainties are putting a strain on efforts towards regional economic integration. Member states appear to be buckling under the pressures of protectionism. But short-term relief will not augur well for the long-term benefits of the region.

Then there are the skeptics and nay-sayers. Given the range in economic development, diverse political and economic systems and cultural differences, can ASEAN be molded into a community? More disturbing are questions such as “Are we ready?” “Are our SMEs ready?” or fear-mongering questions such as “Will we see an influx of labour in our shores come 2015?” Rodolfo Severino JR, the former ASEAN Sec-Gen is quoted as saying. “The main challenge is this first, the lack of awareness of the benefits, particularly of the benefits of regional integration.” Our critics have been relentless. OK perhaps this reflects our failure to communicate our achievements, our plans. Note to self: step up public engagement!

So what have we to show for ASEAN economic integration? The ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, AFTA, is in full implementation, and has been in full implementation since 1 January 2010. Member states are on track with the liberalization of the services sectors. Our investment agreement is in place. We now have an agreement to facilitate the freer movement of skills among member states.

To be sure ASEAN was pragmatic in its approach to economic integration. Right at the outset, it was clear that the grouping was not looking to be a Customs union. That would evolve with time. Because of the differing economic and political systems, as well as differing levels economic development, the grouping adopted an open regionalism approach. This would mean that regional economic integration would not be a drag on the growth plans of the member states. Rather we took the “rising tide” stance; a “prosper thy neighbour” attitude as we addressed the development gaps among member states. This approach has panned out successfully for the grouping. It has contributed positively to the region’s economic growth and industrial development. Greater economic integration is also evidenced in the involvement of our companies in the global and regional supply and value chains. There are more than 600 Malaysian companies operating in ASEAN, capitalising on the robust growth of the region. Likewise, Malaysia is also host to a number of companies from the region.

We have done much to harmonise our ‘at-the-border’ trade facilitation. The ASEAN Single Window (a system of speeding up cargo clearance) is progressing. The pilot initiative for self-certification (a system where exporters take responsibility for certifying Customs documentation instead of going through Governments) is also looking promising.

Intra-regional trade continues to grow and now amounts to just over 24 per cent of the groupings’ global trade of US$2.5 trillion. ASEAN’s share of global FDI is also up, increasing from 15.1 per cent in 2010 to 17.4 per cent in 2013 to total US$122.4 billion. And ASEAN has been growing over 5 per cent per annum in recent years.

We have done a lot to break down trade and investment barriers among the 10 member states. But there is much for us to do. Our “to do” list includes work on financial integration

and inclusion; confronting and removing non-tariff barriers; improving connectivity and regulatory coherence; strengthening key institutions to ensure good governance and inclusive and sustainable economic development; legal harmonization; and improvements in tax-related matters.

We will work to ensure we get to our goals. We must march on for the greater good. For us, 2015 is not just another milestone in our economic integration journey but also a very significant one.

Government Imposes Provisional Safeguard Duty On HRP Imports

The government has decided to impose a provisional safeguard duty of 23.93 per cent ad-valorem on imports of hot-rolled steel plate (HRP) with effect from Sunday for a period of 200 days.

The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), in a statement Friday, said the provisional safeguard duty was to reduce the effects of serious injury to the domestic industry caused by the surge in HRP imports.

“The final determination under section 23 of the Safeguards Act 2006 will be made within 200 days from the application of the provisional safeguard measure,” it added.

On Aug 18, the government initiated a safeguard investigation based on a petition filed by Ji Kang Dimensi Sdn Bhd on behalf of domestic HRP producers.

The petitioner alleged that increased HRP imports from 2011 to 2013 had caused serious injury to the domestic industry.

The government’s preliminary investigation under section 20 of the Safeguards Act 2006 found that there was sufficient evidence to continue with investigations on the imports of HRP, said MITI.

Interested parties can have access to the public report on the preliminary determination by submitting a written request to the ministry.

Kuala Lumpur has been voted one of the seven most magnificent and incredible cities in the World. The other six were La Paz (Bo-livia), Havana (Cuba), Beirut (Lebanon), Doha (Qatar), Vigan (Philippines), and Durban (South Africa).

From a long list of 1200 nominees from 220 countries the list was narrowed down to 28 through qualification and selection process.

Top 28 cities went through three phases of worldwide vote until seven cities were cho-sen. The seven cities were chosen based on voting from people using the Internet, smart-phone apps, international telephone voting lines and text messaging. Announcing the results at the New7Wonders voting center in Dubai, Bernard Weber, Founder-President of New7Wonders stated, “We congratulate each of these cities on achieving their New-7Wonders status, and we look forward to celebrating their election to the canon of 7 with their citizens in 2015.”
