The Lifting-The-Barriers Initiative (LTBI) is an integrated year-long research exercise designed in conjunction with the ASEAN Business Club (ABC) Forum. The overall objective is to conduct sector based gap analysis with the purpose of identifying trade barriers or disablers of ASEAN integration to help realise the goal of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015. With the support of various sector champions and research partners, the LTBI has produced 19 reports covering 12 clusters of sectors between 2013 and 2015.
