2 Global Growth Engines including USA, European Union, Japan & China to 12 Asian Economies (1980 to 2020), Further Asian Connectivity and Inclusive Growth* Dr Tan Khee Giap Co Directors, Asia Competitiveness Institute Associate Professor of Public Policy Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore & Chairman, Singapore National Committee for Pacific Economic Cooperation (SINCPEC) Revised and prepared for presentation for ESCAP High level Policy Dialogue on Macroeconomic Policies for Sustainable Growth with Equity in East Asia organised by ESCAP, Jogyakarta, May Also presented at the Asia Pacific Real Estate Convention & Expo 2013, March 2013, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore; also presented at the 27 th Pacific economic Seminar Regional Economic Integration Review AND Outlook organized by Chinese Taipei Pacific Economic Foundation Cooperation Committee, 4 5 October 2012, The Regent Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan; presented to China Europe Institute of Business Studies (CEIBS) delegation, 13 October 2012 at Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, National University of Singapore Outline of Presentation The dynamic evolution of global growth engines including USA, EU, Japan, China to 11 selected Asian economies over past four decades, Regional competitiveness landscapes including 34 Greater China economies, 35 States of India and ASEAN-10, Differences in economic development approaches and characteristics amongst China, India and Singapore. Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) versus Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) as a pathway to Free Trade Agreement for Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) which is the most widely supported approach for greater economic integration The Global economy in the decade ahead, : Dynamic shifts, challenges and opportunities

3 Estimating Growth Engines China now the largest export market for ASEAN-5 except Indonesia US, European Union and Japan are now weaker engines of growth for ASEAN-5 The importance of indirect growth multiplier US impact on Australia (US is a minor trading partner) through its effect on Japan and China (which are major Australian trading partners) Export shares and trade in intermediates products Growth Engines of ASEAN-5 Traditional external engines of growth: US, EU, Japan. When US sneezes the world catches cold New external engines: China, India??? How to assess? Trade flows versus multiplier effects China the largest export market, does it generate similar multiplier effects?

4 Decoupling Literature Number of studies on business cycle comovements at a global level (Kose and Prasad, 2010). Basic tool: Dynamic factor model. Identify a latent factor to represent global cycles and examine how this correlates with individual country cycles. Results are mixed, but less supportive of decoupling thesis. Focus of ACI-LKYSPP Studies Our focus, not on business cycle synchronization, but on the evolution of Asia s dependence of traditional and emerging growth engines and the dynamics of Asian integration. Common practice: look into direct trade and investment linkages. This ignores indirect multiplier effects and underestimates the power of growth engines.

13 Conclusions China has rapidly become a major engine of growth for ASEAN-5 in the past decade The US growth engine is still 1.53 times more important than that of China for ASEAN-5 The EU growth engine is equally important as that of China for ASEAN-5 The Chinese growth engine has become 1.88 times more important than that of Japan for ASEAN-5 Conclusions US pus Japan is about twice as important as China as the growth engine for ASEAN-5, however, the continued economic integration of China to other Asian economies is unstoppable! India has not yet become a growth engine for ASEAN-5 though it is of increasing importance to Singapore and Malaysia Intra-ASEAN growth engines are confined to among Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The growth engines have actually weakened over the past decade.

14 Conclusions The mutual growth dependence of Singapore and Malaysia has fallen over the past decade Indonesia has become a more important growth engine for Singapore over the past decade US participation in any Asian regional economic grouping is critical as it is still the most important engine of growth for all the Asian economies (except Taiwan and Hong Kong) Conclusions Based on existing trends, for ASEAN to strategically balance the rising dependence on China, the key network linkages with the most future potential are: (1) India-Indonesia-Singapore, Australia-India, Japan-Indonesia- Singapore. (2) Attracting Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Hong Kong labour intensive industries relocating from China to ASEAN to produce for the US, EU, Japan, India and ASEAN markets. (3) For greater Asian connectivity and integration, attracting massive infrastructure investment and financing from China and Japan to ASEAN in the area of transportation, telecommunication, power & utilities to ensure sustainable economic growth development bottlenecks in ASEAN

15 Regional tension and political agenda involving USA, China, Japan and Korea have disrupted CJK-FTA Further momentum of China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Agreement (CJK-FTA) is unlikely in the near future and not too optimistic in the medium term either. Trans-Pacific Strategic economic Partnership Agreement (TPP) evolved from the original P-4 FTA initiated by Singapore in 2006 currently have more than 11 members committed or interested. However, TPP so far has been overshadowed by political agenda with renewed Japanese interests, given the difficulties of China and Indonesia which are unlikely join such a high quality FTA. Japan proposed Comprehensive Economic Partnership in East Asia (CEPEA) so as to play an active leadership role in East Asia which in fact is FTA of ASEAN 3+3 (i.e. India Australia and New Zealand) where all 16 members are members of the East Asian Summit; meanwhile China has taken keen initiative in discussion pertaining to East Asia Free Trade Agreement (EAFTA) where government officials are engaged in the discussions under the four working groups. We strongly urge USA to play an even more pro-active economic role in Asia where political role would emerge naturally later which would lead to greater stabilization of Asia. RCEP or TPP, which is a realistic path way FTAAP to better reflect balanced regional interests? The current American-driven high-quality Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) have gained momentum from recent Japanese agreement to participate although two emerging giant Asian economies, namely China and Indonesia, continued to be not keen. Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) can be seen as a compromise when China and Japan jointly proposed in August 2011 ASEAN to set up three working groups in goods, trade in services and investments. Hence ASEAN proposed in November 2011 an ASEAN-Led RCEP was affirmed by leaders from East Asia Summit in April RCEP could be the most realistic pathway to Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) which would be the most widely supported approach since USA, China and Japan (and surely Chinese Taipei too!) are included. Other interested potential members such as India and other smaller economies would surely be welcome. As Indonesia recovers steadily since 2005 as a rising middle power after her economic set back in Asian financial crisis of 1997, the importance and leadership of Indonesia is noticed especially in view of the recent rising regional tensions over territory sovereignty amongst some members of ASEAN and China.

17 USA, European Union, China, Japan & India, The US economy appears to be emerging from its worst since the American sub-prime driven-financial crisis through rounds of quantitative easing. The fiscal non-sustainability and weak competitiveness of Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland and Portugal would continue to drag down the economic prospect of European Union. The Chinese economy would continue to grow steadily at 7.5% per annum for the current decade with external demand, domestic consumption, regional infrastructure development and rapid urbanization as drivers for growth. India would continue to be bogged down by inertia in economic reform programs and the weak coalition government. The current Japanese attempt to restore trade competitiveness through currency depreciation and regionalization of Reminbi would have significant implications to exchange rate alignment for major world currencies. Global quantitative easing by the US Federal Reserves Board, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, and People s Bank of China would lead to competitive exchange rate devaluation and volatile capital flows with serious negative implications for Asian economies with potential inflationary pressure. 21/05/ Greater Asian Connectivity: Sustainable and Inclusive Growth In the APEC process, there are basically three pillars including trade & investment, regional integration and eco-tech. While APEC economies have made good progress in terms of trade & investment, regional integration in terms of Asian connectivity needed to be further enhanced. However the third pillar, namely eco-tech which encompasses inclusive, sustainable and equitable growth, has been lacking in focus and serious attention while the first two pillars progress ahead with good performance by multinational corporations and reward for employers. In view of widening income disparity amongst developing and developed economies, productivity tracking and efficiency monitoring of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) must be serious look into, in particular the management performance of professional, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) working in SMEs. Unlike Japan, as China is surely and steadily on the way to be the biggest economy in the world, further cooperation amongst SMES in Asia to gain greater access to the big, diverse and increasingly consumption driven Chinese markets would be paramount. Amongst the significant and effective way of ensuring fruits of economic growth to be inclusive and equitably shared, tracking on affordability indices in FOUR areas including education, housing, health and public transportation for public policies formulation and adjustments remained most critical. 21/05/
