Paris, France - 9 December 2015The 2nd meeting of the Southeast Asia Regional Policy Network on Investment took place on 9 December 2015 in Paris, back-to-back with the OECD Workshop on Making Investment Work for the Sustainable Development Goals. It was co-chaired by Australia and Thailand. The discussions focused on national investment law reform in ASEAN and elsewhere. While some ASEAN Member States have revised their investment law over the past decade and at least three are currently doing so, other Member States either have no specific investment law or two separate laws. Representatives of Myanmar, Lao PDR, Viet Nam and Cambodia presented their investment law reform process, which generated a lively discussion with OECD country delegates. Some ASEAN representatives also highlighted the lessons learned from the process of undertaking an OECD Investment Policy Review and how it was used as a framework for investment-related reforms. The meeting also discussed future OECD work on investment with ASEAN.
