Cosy business alliances holding Asia back
Asian business groups, with few exceptions, have highly opaque corporate governance. Effective policy interventions are needed to ensure that competition and innovation among corporations are encouraged, and not limited.

Demilitarisation and sustainable development should be top priorities for Asean-Japan cooperation amid a fragmented geopolitical shifting world order.
