ASEAN Regional Agriculture Trade Environment Transparency and Accountability Report

Speeches Shim

Despite numerous examples of transparency and accountability being strengthened in ASEAN, official corruption permeates everyday life in a number of Member States, from the “petty” to the “grand.” Anticorruption laws enacted by ASEAN Member States are out of sync with one another. Private enterprises, including processors and traders of all sizes, are increasingly aware of the transparency demands associated with doing business in regional and international markets. The supply of business and management professionals who are capable of meeting these demands has increased in recent years, although these workers are less available in rural areas.
