Needs and Objectives The project will conduct a strategic assessment of new and emerging issues in FTAs that can be used as reference in defining ASEAN’s “offensive and defensive” interests in FTAs, while taking into account the development gaps and different levels of readiness amongst the AMS. Guided by the strategic assessment, ASEAN is expected to formulate strategies and policy options that can serve as reference for ASEAN trade negotiators in engaging ASEAN’s existing and potential FTA partners on these new issues. This will further consolidate an ASEAN strategy and create a fresh momentum to strengthen ASEAN’s engagements with stakeholders, including the ASEAN dialogue partners, in the new and emerging areas. It will also serve to inform AEC in the development of the post-2025 vision in promoting a proactive global ASEAN. Through the project, it is envisaged that ASEAN and the individual AMS would have a better understanding of implications of the emerging FTA issues that will assist in making informed, evidence-based strategies /general approaches to these new and emerging issues towards modern, relevant FTAs. In the long run, it is expected to promote relevant, forward looking FTAs in order to maximise the real benefit for the AEC. Together with AADCP II, the ASEAN Secretariat’s Analysis and Monitoring on Trade and Emerging Issues Division (AMTEID), ASEAN Integration Monitoring Directorate (AIMD) seek to engage the services of an entity or firm to support the preparation of the project key output, namely a Study on New and Emerging FTA Issues.

Needs and Objectives The project will assess the current state of play in business registration and licensing processes in AMS focusing on the issuance and usage of UBINs to streamline the processes. It is important to note that this project forms part as a preliminary phase to establish regionally comparable and recognised UBINs in the region, in line with the last component of the Work Programme, and serve as the fundamentals to advocate for regional cooperation. The project aims to gain deeper insights and understanding of the current landscape of business registration and licensing processes and procedures in each AMS, focusing on the deployment of UBINs, establish the business case for mainstreaming the usage of UBIN among the agencies and regulatory bodies involved in business registration and licensing, and laying the groundwork for regional cooperation, recommending pilot projects between ready and interested AMS. The said regional cooperation framework should be built on the existing UBIN systems used by the AMS. In the long run, it is expected that this project will lead to the increased utilisation of digital business identities through UBIN, which in turn will improve cross-border trade for ASEAN businesses, promote trade and investment and access to finance. The outputs produced through this project serve as the guiding document for the ACCMSME and Task Force to advocate for a regional mandate for the mainstreamed usage of UBIN, at the national level, and accessibility and interoperability of UBINs at the regional level. Together with AADCP II, the ASEAN Secretariat’s Enterprise and Stakeholders Engagement Division (ESED) seek to engage the services of an entity or firm to support the...
