MANILA March 10 Economic Ministers from the 10 ASEAN Member States (AMS) met through video conference on 2-3 March 2021 to discuss implementation of initiatives that will further the region’s post-pandemic economic recovery efforts.
As this year’s ASEAN Chair, Brunei Darussalam leads the setting of their priority economic deliverables (PEDs). These focus on three strategic thrusts Recovery, Digitalization, and Sustainability.
“We see the value of the identified PEDs especially in enhancing and complementing existing ASEAN initiatives, especially towards economic recovery efforts. The plan is to have these initiatives realized within the year, as they will significantly contribute to ASEAN’s regional integration,” said Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez.
