Overview

Analysis of trade integration effects in ASEAN reveals trade creation benefits, while trade diversion is limited to four nations.

Key Points

  • Trade integration led to almost duty-free movement of goods across ASEAN, impacting regional economies positively.
  • Ninety-eight point six percent of commodity items are duty-free since 2018, highlighting significant trade liberalization in ASEAN.
  • Trade creation is evident for all ten ASEAN countries, yet trade diversion affects only Brunei, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar.
  • The low share of intraregional trade, remaining below 25%, indicates ongoing reliance on external trade partners like China.
