Promoting a Fair Business Environment in ASEAN (Midterm Progress Report). “The report covers the period August 2018-April 2020. We wrote it before COVID-19 became a global pandemic. One of the many lessons we have learned from this tragedy is the interdependence of our lives, not just within ASEAN but globally, and the need to work together across countries, sectors and different interest groups. This collaborative approach lies at the heart of FairBiz’s thinking. And we intend to continue building on it in the coming months. The way governments and business respond to the crisis and adopt recovery plans will be critical to restore trust in public and private institutions. More than ever, governance models to respond to COVID-19 should be guided and informed by the principles of transparency, fairness and integrity so that no one is left behind, and we can come back stronger. The current crisis has underscored the importance of those principles which are at the core of our work and which we are actively putting into practice in Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.”
