June 1, 2017 marks the 10-year anniversary of the entry into force of the Korea-ASEAN FTA. The trade pace has been mutually beneficial.

Trade in services advanced 6.6 percent on average a year during the period, while Korea s investment in the region soared more than fivefold. The ASEAN region has become Korea s second largest trading partner after China from the fifth in the past 10 years. The Ministry expects the significance of the region as a partner for economic cooperation to become even greater in the changing international trade environment. The Korea-ASEAN trade volume stood at USD 119 billion, which represents 13 percent of Korea s total trade volume of $902 billion -- up from 9.9 percent in Vietnam is the largest trade partner among the 10 member countries with goods worth $45.1 billion exchanged in 2016, followed by Singapore ($19.3 billion), Malaysia ($15 billion), Indonesia ($14.9 billion), Thailand ($11 billion), the Philippines ($11 billion), Myanmar ($1.2 billion), Cambodia ($813 million), Brunei ($779 million), and Laos ($149 million).

2 the annual growth in total exports at 3.3-percent. During the same period, shipments to China increased by an average of 4.7 percent a year and those to the United States by 4.2 percent while those to Japan and the European Union contracted 0.9 percent and 2 percent, respectively.

Korea s share of the ASEAN market increased to 7 percent from 5 percent.

This also contributed to ASEAN countries exports to third markets as well as the development of their manufacturing industries. The ASEAN countries invested $1.4 billion on average a year in Korea during the same period, compared to about $1 billion a decade earlier. Singapore is the third largest investor in Korea, and represented 89.2 percent of the investment by the ASEAN in the last five years. More than 88 percent of the ASEAN s investment into Korea headed to the service industry, and the rest to the manufacturing sector. In order to strengthen the relations as economic cooperation partners and maximize benefits

6 of the trade agreement even further, Korea will endeavor to accelerate negotiations for upgrading the existing Korea-ASEAN FTA. In 2015, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) was launched, and the Korea-ASEAN FTA should be enhanced in accordance with this. The upgraded FTA is expected to improve market access and the schedules for tariff reductions. There is also the need for a more concrete agreement on economic cooperation as an increase in non-tariff measures has been observed.
