Understanding The ASEAN Integration

• Understanding the ASEAN Integration - April 29, 2015
  April 29, 2015
  7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

There has been a lot of talks happening about the arrival of the ASEAN integration which is happening as we speak. Back in 2007 in Singapore, the ASEAN leaders signed an agreement as a blueprint for an ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) with one of its main objectives is to create a single market and production base by ensuring a free flow of goods, services, investment, capital, and skilled labor. The question remains, are we ready for this kind of transformation? Is my business prepared for the fierce competition from the multi-nationals coming in? Or am I ready to expand my operations/offerings outside the comfort walls of my country?
