12. ECONOMY OF ASEAN:
ASEAN is built on three pillars:
The ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC),
The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC),
The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC).
The ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), which was established on 28
January 1992When the AFTA agreement was originally signed,
ASEAN had only six members: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Vietnam joined in 1995, Laos
and Burma in 1997, and Cambodia in 1999.
The next steps are to create a single market and production base, a
competitive economic region, a region of equitable economic
development, and a region that is fully integrated into the global
economy.

13. Since 2007, ASEAN countries have gradually lowered
their import duties to member nations.
The target is zero import duties by 2016. ASEAN
countries have many economic zones (industrial parks,
eco-industrial parks, special economic zones, technology
parks, and innovation districts).
Until the end of 2010, intra-ASEAN trade was still low.
Trade involved mainly exports to countries outside the
region, with the exception of Laos and Myanmar, whose
foreign trade was ASEAN-oriented, with 80% and 50%
respectively of their exports going to other ASEAN
countries.

17. From the above graphical representation of trade
between ASEAN and China we came to know that the
trade kept on increasing year after year from $ 130
billion in 2005 to $ 495 billion in 2014. The rate of

18. ASEAN'S GROWTH

19. The above figures tell us clearly that the top 6 ASEAN
economies contribute the higher portion to its overall GDP that
counts to 95% or more.

20. CONCLUSION
After the thorough study of secondary sources we came to the
following conclusions:
ASEAN is growing at the increasing rate in each
and every terms weather its population, wealth, GDP
etc.
ASEAN tend to open the way for trade with
Britishers due to increasing population.
ASEAN tend to import and export with various other
nations such as China and Europe.
The trade of payment i.e. negative tends to be
reducing due to increasing exports and decreasing
exports from EU.

21.  ASEAN has become the world’s 3rd
largest
consumer market.
 The rate of FDI is increasing day by day in
ASEAN and on the other hand trade within the
ASEAN nations is also increasing.
 Last not least I want to conclude that all the
nations are not equally contributing towards its
growth top 6 nations of ASEAN contribute 95%
of GDP and rest 4 nations contribute just 5%.
