A Blueprint for identifying the characteristics and elements of the AEC by 2015.
Signed in November 2007, as the first ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint, it has served as a comprehensive master plan to chart the region’s journey towards the formal establishment of the AEC on 31 December 2015.
Under this Blueprint, the AEC is built on four interrelated and mutually-reinforcing characteristics: (a) a single market and production base, (b) a highly competitive economic region, (c) a region of equitable economic development, and (d) a region fully integrated into the global economy. (Refer to Factsheets on AEC Blueprint 2015 for details)
