Description
:
WITH A MARKET OF OVER 600 MILLION CONSUMERS, RISING PURCHASING POWER AND A YOUNG DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE, ASEAN REPRESENTS AN IMPORTANT MARKET FOR BUSINESSES. CONSUMER PROTECTION POLICIES ARE THEREFORE A NECESSARY ADJUNCT TO ENSURE CONSUMERS BUY WITH TRUST AND CONFIDENCE AND THAT BUSINESSES REFRAIN FROM ENGAGING IN FRAUDULENT PRACTICES. FURTHERMORE, CONSUMER POLICIES SHOULD BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO NEW AND EMERGING CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FACING ASEAN. THIS INCLUDES CROSS-BORDER E-COMMERCE AND OTHER NEW TRADING METHODS RESULTING FROM GLOBALISATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT, REQUIRING GOVERNMENTS TO FIND INNOVATIVE WAYS TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE THE INTERESTS OF CONSUMERS.
