This report, aim to provide an external assessment of implementation of AEC Blueprint 2025. The scope of the AEC Blueprint is very broad, and our resources are modest in comparison – as a result this report is intended to serve as a foundation which we will build on in future reports.

To prepare this report, we have sought to follow the approach set out in the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework prepared by the AIMO of measuring both outcomes and compliance. The report is therefore structured as follows:

• Assessment of the outcomes of ASEAN integration using a set of economic indicators;
• Assessment of the implementation of the CSAP using publicly available information on measures and action which have been implemented; and
• Commentary on the broad messages of these assessments; and
• A sector “deep dive” for aviation, to consider issues relating to air transport integration
