Myanmar has 16 months left to join the AEC. Here’s a checklist of what needs to be done
Myanmar has until December 31, 2018, about 16 months, to join the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which aims to create a single market and production base with a free flow of goods, services, labour and capital across its member states. The AEC has so far achieved some success in eliminating tariffs and facilitating trade, streamlining capital market regulatory frameworks and platforms, facilitating skilled labour mobility and promoting consumer protection and intellectual property rights within the community.
