Malaysia’s role as chairman of Asean next year is pivotal in driving regional innovation and digitalisation towards integrating further the disparate economies within the grouping, said Grant Thornton Malaysia Country CEO Kishan Jasani.
Towards realising full integration, building trust among member states is a vital ingredient as well as transparency since “Asean has been known to be very opaque in certain legislations” on trade and investment, he told Bernama in an interview recently. “They now have the highest rate of mobile banking penetration globally because they didn’t bother with building landlines. “Let’s digitise and take the best practices.”
Touching on transparency of policy and areas that need to be improved towards further integration, Kishan lamented that a lot of Asean countries “are not transparent about the policies that could encourage investments, both locally and from abroad.”
