In this connection, ASEAN concluded the ASEAN Comprehensive Investment Agreement (ACIA) in
February 2009. The ASEAN Investment Area (AIA) Ministerial Council in 2007 agreed to step up regional
efforts in attracting FDI and in 2007, and made the decision to consolidate the 1987 Agreement for the
Promotion and Protection of Investments (known as the Investment Guarantee Agreement or “ASEAN
IGA”), and the 1998 Framework Agreement on the ASEAN Investment Area (AIA) or the “AIA Agreement”, as well as its two related Protocols, into a single comprehensive agreement to be known as ACIA.
The main objectives of ACIA are to: (1) create a free and open investment regime to attract more investors
into the region by creating a more liberal and transparent investment environment, and (2) support the
realisation of an AEC by 2015. ACIA would also facilitate the transformation of ASEAN into an investment
hub that would be able to compete effectively with other emerging economies.
The ASEAN Investment Map is published to provide investors and the business sector with easy reference to key investment facilities located in the region. The Map also gives a bird-eye’s view of ASEAN
as an investment region with its diverse and complementary locational advantages that can easily meet
the needs of all investors in ASEAN.

ASEAN is making progress towards the establishment of a single market and production base under the
ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2015. Under the AEC, ASEAN’s goal is to have free flow of investment in the region that will be key towards enhancing the competitiveness of the region in attracting
foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. While ASEAN has been successful in attracting investment through
its investment policies and regime, the concept of regional integration is expected to enhance ASEAN’s
attractiveness as an investment destination. The challenges of the present and increasing competition
from other emerging economies spur ASEAN towards ensuring that it remains in the forefront of global
development and benefit from the internationalisation of business activities and the global supply chain
production structure.
In particular, the map indicates the locations of the free trade zones, export processing zones and ASEAN
infrastructural networks that support an efficient regional investment destination. The map also contains basic information and figures on each ASEAN Member State. As not all industrial estates and
investment facilities are highlighted, investors are advised to refer to other sources of information listed
in the map or consult the respective ASEAN investment agencies for more detailed or other types of
investment information.

SUB-REGIONAL GROWTH AREAS
BRUNEI - INDONESIA - MALAYSIA - PHILIPPINES - East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMPEAGA)
The East ASEAN Growth Area (EAGA) is an area encompassing Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, and is better known in the ASEAN region as BIMPEAGA.
The BIMP-EAGA was established in recognition of the importance of the principles of
market orientation and comparative advantage. These form the basis for promoting trade
and investment flows into the sub-region and taking advantage of the culture and ethnic
commonalities in these areas with the aim of advancing intra-subregional trade, tourism
and investment activities.
The four main areas of cooperation among the BIMP-EAGA members are tourism development, expansion of air linkages, sea transport and shipping services, and fisheries
development. In addition, several infrastructure-related projects on seaports, roads, telecommunications facilities and airports are being pursued to further hasten the growth
and development of the area.
The areas covered in this grouping are Brunei Darussalam; the islands of Kalimantan,
Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua in Indonesia; Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan in Malaysia; and
the Mindanao and Palawan islands in the southern part of the Philippines archipelago.

INDONESIA - MALAYSIA - SINGAPORE Growth Triangle (IMS-GT)
In 1990, Indonesia and Singapore signed an agreement to develop jointly the Riau archipelago. Prior to the signing of the agreement, the Indonesian government formed the
Coordinating Team of Riau Province Development with a presidential decree in July 1990.
The team was responsible for coordinating the development of Riau islands outside the
Batam Industrial Development Authority (BIDA) area. With the announcement of the decree, the whole Riau archipelago became part of the growth triangle region and better
known as the Singapore-Johor-Riau (SIJORI) triangle.
In recognising the potential for generating mutual benefit from the SIJORI arrangement,
a Memorandum of Understanding was signed in 1994 between Indonesia, Malaysia and
Singapore to formalise the establishment of a consultative mechanism to oversee the
trilateral cooperation. Since then, rapid developments have taken place in the SIJORI
triangle and positively impacted the other provinces in the southern part of Sumatera
island of Indonesia because of its economic and infrastructure linkages. The SIJORI triangle is today known as the Southern Growth Triangle or Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore
Growth Triangle (IMS-GT).

Since 1995, the whole of Sumatera island has become part of the triangle and in 2004 IMSGT was expanded to include the states of Negeri Sembilan, Pahang and Melaka in Malaysia.

INDONESIA - MALAYSIA - THAILAND Growth Triangle (IMT-GT)
The success of cooperation in the IMS-GT has been hailed as a means of promoting the
economic growth within a sub-region and has become a model of economic cooperation
in the ASEAN region. The triangle has since been replicated in other parts of the region as
a mechanism to expand intra-ASEAN economic cooperation. This includes the Northern
Growth Triangle or the Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT). The
IMT-GT represents the second major effort at linking three complementary locations
comprising the northern part of Sumatera island of Indonesia, northern Peninsular Malaysia and the southern provinces of Thailand.
The IMT-GT area was later expanded to include the whole of Sumatera island of Indonesia; the Malaysian states of Selangor, Penang, Perak, Kedah, Kelantan and Perlis; and, the
southern provinces of Thailand comprising Satun, Songkhla, Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani.

ASEAN MEKONG BASIN DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION (AMBDC)
The ASEAN Mekong Basin Development Cooperation (AMBDC) was established in 1996
on a basis of the economic potential of the Mekong Basin and a desire to cooperate in the
development of the Mekong Basin. The AMBDC provides a critical and important link to the
development cooperation framework of the Mekong riparian states, namely: infrastructure capacities in the areas of transport, telecommunications, irrigation and energy; development of trade and investment-generating activities; development of agricultural
sector; sustainable development of forestry resources and the development of mineral
resources; development of the industrial sector to accelerate industrial development
especially small and medium enterprises; development of the tourism sector; human resource development; and support for training, science and technology cooperation.
The AMBDC’s overall objectives are to advance ASEAN integration by ensuring economically sound and sustainable development of the Mekong Basin; encourage a process of
dialogue and common project identification to achieve economic partnerships for mutual
benefit; and, strengthen interconnections and economic linkages between ASEAN Member States and Mekong riparian states.
The AMBDC continues to place priority on AMBDC’s flagship projects such as the
Singapore-Kunming Rail Link (SKRL). The areas covered in this cooperation are Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Viet Nam and the Yunnan province of China.
