U.S. MISSION TO ASEANhttp://asean.usmission.gov/https://www.facebook.com/USMission2ASEANhttps://twitter.com/usmission2asean

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Connectivity through Trade and Investment is a five-year project of the United States Agency for International Development and the Department of State to increase U.S. economic engagement and cooperation with ASEAN countries. Asia is an increasingly inter-connected region and with the launch of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, the U.S. government has aligned its development assistance priorities in support of regional integration.

Trade between the United States and ASEAN is estimated at $200 billion. The project encourages ASEAN to adopt free, transparent, sustainable and inclusive trade practices as it moves toward economic integration. This includes technical support for customs integration, trade and investment facilitation, small and medium-sized enterprises, clean and efficient energy, and information and communication technologies. These areas are also priorities under key U.S. strategic agreements and policies such as the ASEAN-U.S. Trade and Investment Framework Arrangement, Enhanced Economic Engagement Initiative and Enhanced Partnership Plan of Action.

ASEAN SINGLE WINDOW DEVELOPMENT FOR CARGO CLEARANCEThe project is helping to create an ASEAN Single Window that can connect and integrate national windows of the 10 ASEAN member states. This will enable streamlined electronic data submission for cargo clearance and lower the cost of doing business across the region. The ASEAN Single Window will also increase transparency in customs systems and improve customs compliance. For U.S. and other businesses, the system will reduce clearance times and costs, and help ensure that trade regulations are administered equitably for all businesses.

TRADE AND INVESTMENTThe project facilitates trade and investment, including harmonizing business standards in priority integration sectors in collaboration with the private sector. These measures help businesses by creating a more level playing field and boosts consumer confidence in the quality of goods they receive according to common definitions of inputs and final products.

SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISESThe project trains entrepreneurs, especially women in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, to help bridge the gap between developing and developed countries and to promote greater participation in emerging economic opportunities stemming from the AEC.

ENERGYIn partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, technical assistance to ASEAN member states supports their work of advancing renewable and sustainable energy solutions that help meet the region’s energy challenges.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYThe project supports the development and application of regulatory and technology solutions to rural broadband access in line with the objectives of ASEAN’s Information and Communications Technology Master Plan.

Tan Sri Dr. Munir Majid, President of ASEAN Business Club (left) signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Ms. Jennifer Wilson, ASEAN Affairs Program Manager, USAID (right) to jointly launch a research grant programme aimed at providing actionable research on policies and business procedures to expand SME access to finance.

Earlier this year, the USAID ASEAN Connectivity through Trade and Investment (US-ACTI) project and the ASEAN Business Club (ABC) launched a public-private partnership to identify actionable solutions to the problem of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) access to finance at a regional level. In collaboration with the ASEAN SME Working Group, US-ACTI and ABC agreed to launch a grant competition for policy studies on key aspects of the SME access to finance puzzle.

While SMEs account for 50 to 85 percent of employment in ASEAN countries, so large a presence that they are often called the backbone of ASEAN’s economy, SMEs often have limited access to finance, particularly lending from banks. In fact, SMEs often list access to finance as one of their most serious obstacles to expansion and growth. On the other hand, banks in the region have stated that they are interested in making loans to SMEs but that they find it difficult to significantly expand their lending while meeting their own lending criteria or the rules of the banking regulators. ASEAN has expressed a desire to support SME development and, in particular, to facilitate greater SME access to finance.

The grant competition program will allow researchers to pursue studies designed to lead either to concrete proposals for action at the ASEAN level to address access to finance issues, including those relating to financial literacy, or to implementable pilot programs by financial institutions in the region. Researchers, applicants, and organizations from all ASEAN Member States are encouraged to participate. To be funded, a proposed research program must last no more than one year, include specific milestones in the research process, and be relevant to ameliorating constraints.

Successful grant applications will offer alternatives for the financing of SMEs and preferably the grantee will work in partnership with a financial institution or business association that is expected to lead to proposed financing alternatives for SMEs. Through the grant process, US-ACTI and ABC intend to award grants that could lead to pilot projects that, if successful, could be replicated in other locations within ASEAN.
