ASEAN Matters, Connectivity Matters • If ASEAN were a single country in 2011, it would be: • the world’s 9thlargest economy; • the 3rd most populous country; • the world’s 5th largest trading power (after the EU, US, China and Germany); • among the world’s top 10 in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. • With enhanced connectivity, ASEAN will be well positioned to take advantage of global developments.

  18. Concluding Remarks • Regular involvement of stakeholders to elaborate the key actions and translate them into viable projects • Effective coordination mechanism is essential: • Synchronise regional, sub-regional and national connectivity project planning and financing with external parties to improve the convergence of purposes and actions of various work plans. • Needs are numerous, cross-sector, and cross-institutions: prioritisation is essential for optimal use of scarce resources that will deliver quick wins and build momentum. • Sector reforms that create an enabling policy, legal and regulatory environment for PPP and other form of private sector participation essential.
