TOPIC: How can ASEAN bounce back: How can the ASEAN Economic Community retains its vision in a post-pandemic world?

SYNOPSIS

To counter the economic impact from the lockdowns imposed to control COVID-19, ASEAN member countries have implemented a series of relief measures aimed at sustaining their economies. While these measures are implemented at the national level, ASEAN has also moved towards regional coordination.

In March, ASEAN Economic Ministers issued a joint statement that called for collective action to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus and in April, ASEAN leaders called for a post-pandemic recovery plan and proposed the establishment of a COVID-19 ASEAN Response Fund.

Join us as Tan Sri Dr. Munir Majid (Chairman of CARI) speaks to ASEAN Secretary-General, H.E. Dato Paduka Lim Jock Hoi on the current progress of ASEAN’s COVID-19 related plans for the region and how the regional bloc intends to achieve its vision of an integrated economy in the new normal.
