On September 15, 2014, 8 business organizations from 7 Asian Economies converged in Manila, Philippines to hold カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法usiness Summit. The leaders discussed the major challenges for Asian economies in view of the emerging global economic realities, and came up with a Joint Statement.
The delegates agreed to play an active role in realizing the goals laid down at カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法 and to provide actionable inputs to the policy makers of their respective Economies.
The Joint Statement reflects the expectations and aspirations of カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法sian business community, and delineates the future role of the private sector in sustaining Asia's economic dynamism.
1. Sustainability of Asian Economy
Asia has been demonstrating steady economic growth functioning as the growth engine for the global prosperity. カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法sian Development Bank estimates that カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法verage GDP growth of Asian region will edge up from 6.1% in 2013 to 6.2% in 2014 and 6.4% in 2015, bringing about economic ripple effect to other regions. The Summit requests each Economy to carry out its growth strategy so as not to lose the momentum.
In order to make this growth sustainable, realizing cross-border division of labor among カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法sian region making the best use of advantages of each Economy and complimenting one another would be the key. This would also rectify disparities in the region and thereby strengthen the basis for further growth.
It is also important to exchange highly-skilled human resources between Asian economies, and encourage Asian institutions to undertake joint research and development initiatives to drive innovation across industries. Innovation-led industrial development and advanced human capital formation will contribute to developing high value-added products and thereby move up the global value chain.
2. Regional Integration
The Summit urges each Asian Economies to press forward with the ongoing EPA/FTA negotiations. Especially the Summit anticipates that the establishment of カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法SEAN Economic Community in 2015 would be a steppingstone towards creating the Free Trade Area of カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法sia Pacific (FTAAP).
EPAs and FTAs should be comprehensive so that they eliminate protectionism and bring about expanded trade in goods and services, greater cross-border investment flows, dismantling of non-tariff barriers and lifting of export restrictions on food and natural resources, strengthening of the IPR regime, and facilitation of remittances.
It is important that EPAs and FTAs are not exclusive. Any Economy that did not participate in the negotiations at the outset should be allowed to join subsequently, subject to terms and conditions that would be agreed with all other participants.
3. Environment, Energy and Natural Resources
In order to make the best use of scarce energy resources while cutting greenhouse gas emissions, it is profitable for each Asian Economy to press forward with its energy efficiency policy. Private sector could collaborate with the government in implementing the energy efficiency policy by disseminating environmentally friendly technology such as highly efficient coal-fired power generation, smart grid, light rail transit, eco-houses and eco-buildings. Financing schemes, which include Official Development Assistance, export credits, bilateral offsetting mechanism, etc. would help implementing カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法bove efforts.
Taking into consideration that a new protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force under the convention applicable to all parties is aimed to be adopted at COP21 in 2015, カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法 agrees to collaborate towards establishing a fair and effective post-2020 international framework.
Under the condition that free trade of natural resources is guaranteed, カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法 is resolved to promote joint exploitation and technical assistance for domestic concentration and refinement.
4. Infrastructure Development
In order to facilitate infrastructure development, カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法 calls for reduction of tariffs on materials and machineries related to construction, relaxation of excessive local contents requirements, free establishment of SPCs, deregulation of trans-border movement of engineers and skilled workers, transparency of government procurement procedures and domestic regulations.
With a view to developing infrastructures of high quality, the Summit continues to ask カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法sian Economies to introduce bidding systems in which non-price factors such as environmentally-friendly technology, lifecycle cost efficiency and low environmental load are properly evaluated.
カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法 also agreed to play a key role in areas such as human resources development, designing of master plans and promotion of PPP projects including the third country cooperation.
With a view to utilizing private flows in the region for infrastructure development, the Summit requests Asian Economies to press ahead with カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法sian Bond Markets Initiatives (ABMI).
5. Improvement of Business Environment
Even if investment were liberalized through EPAs and FTAs, business would not be facilitated unless domestic regulations of the hosting countries are transparent and rational.
カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法 calls for establishing a mechanism comprised of representatives from governments, and the business community, to discuss issues on how to improve the business environment in each Economy. Impediments to business activities due to domestic regulations, administrative procedures, taxation and labor issues could be addressed, reviewed and corrected under this mechanism.
Improvement of business environment would not only benefit foreign investors but also domestic companies, especially SMEs.
6. Movement of Natural Persons
Some Asian Economies will face labor shortages in the near future due to declining birthrate while other Economies have to undertake the task of youth employment stemming from population growth. To optimize this situation and to minimize カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法dverse effects resulting from demographic change, the Summit requests カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法sian Economies to lift the existing restrictions on trans-border movement of natural persons.
In addition to free movement of intra-corporate transferees, professionals, trained workers, students and trainees, movement of medical workers and caregivers should be given attention. Regulatory reforms pertaining to medical services will greatly bridge the manpower needs of the region's healthcare sectors and thereby addressing issues of カジノ シークレット 出 金 方法ging society.
Alongside facilitating movement of natural persons, it goes without saying that each economy and industry must take effective measures to enhance human capital through education and vocational training.
