Important insights from World Bank's @ApurvaSanghi on #ASEAN2025 Goods flow freely but services don’t 96% of goods within ASEAN are traded duty-free. But services? Still in regulatory quicksand ASEAN's most restrictive region for trade-in-services. Think messy licensing

Happy ASEAN Week! My thoughts on some ASEAN-omics: Many bemoan low intra-ASEAN trade (just above 20%) despite ultra-low tariffs. But there’s more to the story: TLDR? - ASEAN ≠ big, common market - Goods flow freely, services don’t - Trade follows economic logic, not flags🧵
