The 47th ASEAN Economic Ministers’ (AEM) Meeting was held on August 22, 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Ministers exchanged views on the recent global developments and the impact on the region. They highlighted that ASEAN’s economy has remained relatively resilient in the midst of global uncertainties, foreign exchange volatilities and the subdued post-global financial crisis recovery.
The participants of the meeting discussed trade and investment, SMEs, public-private sector engagement, external economic relations as well as AEC Vision 2025. The Ministers endorsed in principle the AEC Blueprint 2025, which is a document that charts the agenda for ASEAN economic integration from 2016 to 2025. The AEC Blueprint 2025 will be launched alongside the 2025 Blueprints of the other two ASEAN Communities at the 27th ASEAN Summit in November, 2015.
