The workshop identified the possible changes to the country’s business environment due to the impact of the AEC, and the shifts in domestic economic institutions which will be necessary for the development of businesses in the context of the AEC.

In addition, the government-identified ways to assist businesses in enhancing their economic integration into the AEC and advanced administrative technologies to improve their competitiveness were presented at the event.
