DHL commissioned research reveals new export landscape for ASEAN and Asia

Posted by | Nov 16, 2007 | |

DHL revealed today the findings of a study commissioned to Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) on regional trade flows. The report entitled Trading up: A New Export Landscape for ASEAN and Asia, examines the movement of goods across borders in Asia, with ASEAN as the starting point. Findings show that despite goals on ASEAN integration, the new export landscape in Asia reveals that ASEAN is at a cross roads between pursuing deeper integration with fellow ASEAN member countries, or falling away to develop individual bilateral trading relationships with China. The share of exports to China from all ASEAN countries in the study except Vietnam has risen sharply while intra-ASEAN trade has shown a declining growth trend.

The release of the study is timed to coincide with the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (ASEAN-BIS), which DHL has been a key sponsor for the past 5 years. The study concentrated on the ASEAN bloc’s six largest economies – Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – and analyzed the trade of its closest regional competitors, China, Japan and India. Shifting import and export trends from 2000 to 2007 are analyzed, focusing particularly on the role played by high-value exports as compared with lower-value bulk commodity goods. It is follow-up research from “ASEAN Exports: Today, Tomorrow and the High-value Challenge”, which DHL and EIU jointly released at the 4th ASEAN Business and Investment Summit 2006.
