VIET NAM Dinh Vu Industrial Zone (EPZ) Jambi IMS-GT Entry Port Banda Aceh 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. Batam (FTZ) Sultan Syarif Qasim II Int’l Airport Sorong Port Balikpapan Port Minangkabau Int’l Airport Jayapura Port Sepinggan Int’l Airport SINGAPORE 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
