Public-private partnership
Will provide intelligent capital to companies in AP countries (seed capital and entrepreneur funds for high growth companies).
PACIFIC ALLIANCE MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
PA countries have low participation in global value chains (except on a smaller scale of Mexico), and when they are involved, make it mostly in the lower chain (with little added value).
Evidence suggests that in the medium term this number could increase by 40% with an integration agreement type PA
PACIFIC ALLIANCE MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
If PA countries succeed in improving quality of logistic infrastructure (ports, airports and telecommunications) to the level of the average in the EU
this would increase foreign direct investment associated with international value chains in countries of the PA in 15%.
PACIFIC ALLIANCE MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
PACIFIC ALLIANCE V/S ASIA PACIFIC
• The Asia-Pacific region as a whole has emerged as an important trading partner for the Pacific Alliance:
$57 billion (11%) of the Alliance’s 2015 exports went to the Asia-Pacific region
There is room, however, for Alliance countries to increase trade with the fast-growing ASEAN-5 countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand)
WHY?
PACIFIC ALLIANCE V/S ASIA PACIFIC
Alliance exports to these countries totaled USD 2.7 billion in 2015 less than 1% of its exports to the world
On the other hand, the ASEAN-5 countries represented 3.7% of total imports by the Pacific Alliance
They can become an increasingly important source of intermediate goods which:
raises potential for greater participation in global value chains
fundamental for increasing productivity and creating better quality employment opportunities
PACIFIC ALLIANCE V/S ASIA PACIFIC
Considering that the PA integration will:
- Involve a single rule of origin - Free access to a market expanded with the possibility of
using inputs from any part of the agreement to 2031
This will allow to enter the Asian market with new products
