The ASEAN Competition Action Plan (ACAP 2016-2025) envisages a regional report on the impact on competition of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and government-linked monopolies (GLMs) in ASEAN.
Why the Logistics Sector?The ASEAN Secretariat (ASEC), the ASEAN Expert Group on Competition, the OECD and the UK Government agreed that the Project will focus on the logistics sector.
|
The project will lead to four main outcomes: | |
---|---|
1 |
An OECD report describing the competitive situation for the key SOEs in the logistics sector and identifying any exclusive rights or special privileges granted to such SOEs, as well as their potential justification and rationale. |
2 |
Building on stakeholders’ comments and available data, an analysis on possible improvements also in light of the international best practices and relevant case studies. |
3 | Workshops and meetings with government officials on identifying special rights and privileges for SOEs that hinder a level playing field, and less restrictive alternatives to achieve the same socio-economic objectives. |
4 | Recommendations to ASEAN governments on the special rights and privileges identified, in order to reduce competition distortions in the logistics sector. |
