Sources: 10. Developments: 2. During the 58th ASEAN Economic Ministers meeting in Manila, member states agreed to accelerate the implementation of the upgraded ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA). Originally slated for June 1, 2027, the bloc is moving toward a provisional rollout as early as the end of 2026 to modernize customs protocols and strengthen supply chain resilience. While certain provisions regarding National Treatment, Market Access, and customs duty reductions are excluded from this early deployment, the meeting also advanced other regional integration efforts. These include preparing for the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement (DEFA) expected in November 2026, reviewing the ASEAN Trade in Services Agreement (ATISA), and discussing a potential Green Economy Framework Agreement (GEFA) to support a regional carbon market. Additionally, the summit addressed the accession process for Timor-Leste and conducted consultations with dialogue partners to advance free trade negotiations with South Korea, India, and Canada. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-23: ASEAN promotes economic integration at 58th Ministers Meeting At the 58th AEM meeting in Manila, ASEAN ministers accelerated economic integration, moved up the ATIGA implementation to 2026, and advanced digital and green economy frameworks. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/asean-promotes-economic-integration-at-58th-ministers-meeting ### 2026-09-19: ASEAN to accelerate rollout of upgraded trade in goods agreement ASEAN economic ministers have agreed to accelerate the rollout of the upgraded Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA) to late 2026, aiming to streamline regional supply chains and market access. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/asean-to-accelerate-rollout-of-upgraded-trade-in-goods-agreement --- Cite as: ASEAN economic integration and trade agreements.
