ERIA AmCham ASEAN Briefing Series:  ‘Addressing Non-tariff Measures in FTAs and RTAs’

Programme

The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia and The American Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia are collaborating on a series of briefings about economic issues in ASEAN that are of importance to the private sector. The goal of the ‘ERIA AmCham ASEAN Briefings’ is share recent research findings with the business community in a forum that invites meaningful discussion about important issues. Each panel will consist of an ERIA expert, a representative from the private sector and when possible, a policy-maker.

This panel focuses on ‘Addressing Non-tariff Measures in FTAs and RTAs’ in the ASEAN region. With tariffs constrained by the WTO, we expect an increasing number of non-tariff measures (NTMs) designed to protect domestic firms and industries. This trend is quite possible in ASEAN, one of the fastest growing regions in terms of growth in economy and trade.

Dr Ha’s presentation presents ERIA’s research on these issues and proposes possible actions to address some of the challenges presented during the policy-making process in ASEAN including transparency, assessment, regulatory convergence, development of domestic laws, and consideration of development gaps across ASEAN Member States.
