ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS

FIRST APEC SENIOR OFFICIALS’ MEETING

The First APEC Senior Ofcial Meeting deliberated

details of key priorities and deliverables for 2011

particularly in the areas of strengthening regional

economic integration and expanding trade, promotinggreen growth as well as advancing good regulatory

convergence and cooperation.

Market-driven innovation policies will be further 

developed to address the next generation trade and

investment issues which include supply-chain, cloud

computing business models and barriers faced by

SMEs.

On APEC New Strategy for Structural Reform (ANSSR),

an Action Plan will be developed based on the common

elements for capacity building. Possible reform priorityareas for consideration include:

• ease of doing business;

• SMEs development;

• better functioning and effectively regulated nancial

markets;

• transparent and competitive markets;

• promoting labour market opportunities;

• training and education; and

• promoting effective and scally sustainable social

safety net programmes.

Access to green technology and capacity building

would be given focus to enable economies to benet

from APEC green growth initiatives. Among the areas

identied for work this year include:

• draw up a list of non-tariff measures (NTMs) inenvironmental goods (EGS) in APEC and shortlist

two EGS products for the removal of NTMs;

• implement programmes to provide timely approval

for temporary importation of a small number 

of non-saleable advanced and alternative fuel

demonstration motor vehicles;

• promote low-carbon development through low-

carbon model towns;

• phase out fossil fuel subsidies without impacting

the vulnerable groups;

• develop and deploy electrical Smart Grids tofacilitate interoperability of standards between

networks, systems, devices and applications which

will help to achieve energy efciency; and

• combat trade in illegal forestry products.

On regulatory convergence and cooperation, economies

viewed that rule-making process differs between

economies and there is no “one-size-t-all” approach.

Economies agreed that good regulatory practices

should include transparency through participation

of stakeholders, harmonisation of regulations andeliminating redundant and non-compatible regulations.

APEC together with UNCTAD organised an ‘Intensive

Training Course on International Agreements in the

APEC Region’, from 7-11 March 2011, in Lima, Peru.

The objective was to expose Government ofcials by

providing a better understanding on the elements and

latest developments regarding International Investment

Agreements (IIAs). Speakers included representatives

from UNCTAD, National University of Singapore and

University of Mexico.

Key issues discussed included:

• trends and emerging issues in considering

engagement in an IIA;

• various approaches on drafting of an IIA;

• management and prevention of disputes;

• alternatives to arbitration and possibilities for 

amicable settlement of disputes; and

• analysis on recent treaty practices.

The training course required participants to share their 

national practices in drafting or engaging in an IIA.

Malaysia shared its experiences on:

• bilateral and regional investment agreements

INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS IN APEC

signed and those under negotiation;

• review of signed IIAs;

• considerations and cost-benet analysis in

identifying potential dialogue partners to engage

in an IIA; and

• various provisions of an IIA, including scope,

denitions, and most favoured nation (MFN).

Impact and implications of the Lisbon Treaty were also

discussed. The European Union does not have its own

template for negotiating the investment chapter under 

its current investment policy. Therefore all IIAs signed

between EU countries and other countries shall remain

even with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.

Following that, negotiations for reviews or on-going IIAs

with the EU countries shall continue.

Malaysia also participated in two sets of simulationexercises of negotiating a high-standard IIA from the

perspective of a developing and developed nation.

Participation in this course has provided policy

makers and negotiators including Malaysia a better 

understanding on various provisions in an IIA.

THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The Trans-Pacic Partnership (TPP) negotiations

entered its Sixth Round in Singapore from 28 March to

1 April 2011.

Negotiations in Singapore are expected to be a

continuation of the Santiago Round Negotiators will

intensify work on the text of the various chapters and the

evaluation of initial market access offers. Discussionsat the Sixth Round are expected to move into greater 

technical details. The Working Groups will discuss the

initial offers in the areas of services, investment and

nancial services.

A major issue considered during the Fifth Round was

on how the TPP could be developed into a ‘living

agreement’. It was agreed that the:

• TPP agreement must facilitate the expansion of 

future membership;

• have the capacity to evolve and address future

issues; and• contain a exible administrative structure that

would not put a nancial or human resource burden

on members.

At the Sixth Round, TPP negotiators will be expected to

see how this can be incorporated into the Agreement.

MITI CAPTURES - WORLDWIDE

1. SINGAPORE: PERFORMANCE OF TOURISM INDUSTRY

Cumulative tourism receipts improvedby 49% to S$18.8 billion from January

to December 2010, exceeding the year’sforecast range of S$17.5 to S$18.5billion.

The high growth in tourism receipts wasattributed by the Singapore TourismBoard (STB) to higher per capitaspending, strong international visitor arrivals and the opening of two IntegratedResorts (IRs) in 2010. In 2010,International visitor arrivals to Singaporereached 11.6 million, registering a 20%increase year-on-year.

According to the Ministry of Tradeand Industry (MTI), the spending

of incremental visitors (namelytourists who would not have come to

Singapore if not for the IRs) generatedan estimated S$3.7 billion in value-added (or 1.7% of GDP) in the rstthree quarters of 2010.

Singapore’s two Integrated Resorts(IRs) are:

1. Marina Bay Sands (MBS) owned byLas Vegas Sands.

2. Resorts World Sentosa (RWS)owned by Genting Singapore

In terms of employment, the two IRs isestimated to have created 30,300 jobs,out of the 111,500 new jobs generated

by tourist spending in the rst three

quarters of 2010. This compares withthe initial ofcial projection that the IRs

would generate 50,000 to 60,000 new jobs throughout the economy by 2015.

The Government anticipates the IRsto directly bring in more than S$12billion of investment when they are fullycompleted, and generate new businessopportunities for local companies.

Business travellers to Singapore includeMICE delegates which form a signicantsegment of overall visitors. In 2010,the industry reported an estimated 20%surge in sales in the MICE businesses.The MICE industry is expected to growby 10% this year.

2. PHILIPPINES: INCREASED ON KEY POLICY INTEREST RATES

The Monetary Board has increased theBangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) keypolicy interest rates by 25 basis pointsto 4.25% for the overnight borrowingor reverse repurchase (RRP) facilityand 6.25% for the overnight lending or repurchase (RP) facility. The interest

rates on term RRPs, RPs, and specialdeposit accounts (SDAs) were alsoraised accordingly.

Basis for the Monetary Board’s decisionwas to minimise the overall impact of rising ination faced by the country withrespect to global situation pressure onthe country.

Global condition have resulted ininternational food and oil prices toescalated due to the combination of sustained strong global demand andsupply disruptions and constraints.

The latest baseline ination forecastsnow indicate that the 3 to 5% inationtarget range in 2011 could be at risk.The BSP stated that vibrant domesticdemand provides room for a policyinterest rate hike without affecting thecountry’s economic growth prospects.

The last interest rate adjustment wasdone on 9 July 2009.

yang positif, kos pengembangan syarikat mampu

dibiayai oleh dana syarikat sepenuhnya. Keadaan

kewangan yang sihat ini membolehkan Top Glove

menebus kesemua bon mereka sebelum tarikh matang.

Dalam usaha mengisi kekurangan kemahiran

teknikal, Top Glove telah bekerjasama dengan Institut

Kajian Getah Malaysia (RRI) bagi membantu dalam

penyelidikan dan pembangunan (R&D). Penekanan

dalam aktiviti R&D ini bertujuan menjadikan Top Glovesebagai pengeluar sarung tangan bertaraf dunia

yang kos-efektif, seterusnya sebagai Pusat Sehenti

Pengeluaran dan Pembekalan Sarung Tangan.

Demi mengatasi kekurangan sumber tenaga, Top Glove

telah memilih untuk menggunakan tenaga biomass

yang bukan sahaja mampu menyelesaikan masalah

sumber tenaga, malah juga mengurangkan kos.

Selepas dua dekad sejak penubuhannnya, Top Glove

telah berkembang pesat dan kini berbangga menjadi

pengeluar sarung tangan getah terbesar di dunia. Ia

 juga disenaraikan di dalam Papan Kedua Bursa Saham

Kuala Lumpur pada tahun 2001, dan seterusnya telah

dinaikkan ke senarai Papan Utama hanya dalam

 jangkamasa setahun.

Dari hanya sebuah kilang yang mempunyai tiga tertib

pengeluaran, Top Glove kini beroperasi dengan 20

buah kilang dan 379 tertib pengeluaran di Malaysia,

Thailand dan China. Syarikat ini juga telah mencatatpertumbuhan purata sebanyak 30% hingga 40% jualan

dan keuntungan bagi tempoh 10 tahun yang lepas.

4. CHINA: RARE EARTH POLICY DEVELOPMENT

On 16 February 2011, the Governmentprovided policy guidelines on rare earthdevelopment:

• China will strive to streamline its rareearth industry within 5 years;

• China will further accelerate industrialconsolidation, upgrading andtechnological innovation to protect the

environment and save resources;• the industry shall maintain rational

production and inventory control, makebetter use of domestic and overseasmarkets and resources, and haveactive international cooperation for ahealthy and sustainable development;and

• the Government will establish andimprove the supervision framework of laws and rules on rare earth industry,impose stricter mining policies toprotect the environment and resourcesand make reasonable plans for miningand exports.

Streamlining of Rare Earth Productionand Supply

In January 2011, the Ministry of Land and Resources announced the

establishment of 11 state-managed rareearth mining zones in Ganzhou, JiangxiProvince, an area rich in ion-absorbed-type rare earth, to protect resources andthe environment.

Currently, China is the world’s largest rareearth producer and exporter supplying95% of global rare earth demand. It is

estimated that China possesses 37% of the world’s total rare earth reserves.In 2010, rare earth export from Chinatotalled US$761 million, up 221% fromthe previous year. Japan and the US arethe major export destinations for China’srare earth in 2010.

In 2010, China reduced export quotas of rare earth by 39%, sparking complaintsfrom major importing countries such asJapan and the US.The Ministry of Commerce has publishedthe rst batch of export quotas of 14,446tonnes for 2011 – 11% lower than the

corresponding period in 2010.Environment Protection Initiatives

In December 2010, the Ministry of Environment Protection approved new

industry standards aimed at reducingpollution and to regulate practices.The new standard is expected topose operational challenges andraise environmental costs. Increasingenvironment concerns have caused thegovernment to impose more stringentrestrictions. This is also to control over-

exploitation of rare earth in undevelopedregions where large deposits are found.

Rare Earth Association

China is expected to establish a RareEarth Association in May 2011.The association will be led by a former senior ofcial of the Ministry of Industryand Information Technology (MIIT)and comprises 90 Chinese rare earthdevelopers and smelting enterprises.The association will assist the MIIT inleading the restructuring and integrationof the rare earth industry and formulatea rare earth reserve system. Access

standards for the rare earth industry arescheduled to be released in the secondquarter of 2011.
