The ASEAN Secretariat and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) launched the ASEAN Investment Report 2015: Infrastructure Investment and Connectivity at the ASEAN Business Summit 2015 at the sidelines of the 27th ASEAN Summit on 20 November 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This publication was prepared with the support of the Government of Australia through the ASEAN Australia Development Cooperation Program Phase II (AADCP II).
ASEAN Investment Report is an annual publication on the development of investment and other related issues in the region. This year, the ASEAN Investment Report reviews the rise of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows into ASEAN and highlights the role of corporate players in infrastructure development and regional connectivity. Improved infrastructure is essential for sustaining economic growth in ASEAN as it enhances logistical efficiency, reduces transaction costs and supports greater flow of trade and investment.
The ASEAN Investment Report 2015 is now available for download here and at the InvestASEANÂ website.
