9. With WTO Accession, China Will Increase Exports to Member Countries Unless AFTA is implemented for the auto industry on time in all countries, China will continue to attract more automotive FDI and will soon start to EXPORT.

There is a direct relationship between how advanced an auto manufacturing economy is, and how big its market is. That’s because for the large part, manufacturing technology in the auto industry is driven by VOLUME. In the auto industry, we tend to look at 3 stages of development in the auto industry. The first is CKD, which is where ASEAN is today. That relates to National markets, and results in low value add, limited exports, and lower technology transfer. Next step up is integrated manufacturing, which is where ASEAN will be under AFTA. The regional market will take you to a new stage of manufacturing called Integrated Manufacturing. But to really get the most advanced type of auto industry, with Product Design and Development, the market has to be global, and the liberalization has to allow for global competitiveness. In this area, the industry will provide sustained investment growth, high value added jobs, and strong export growth.
Investment was driven by promise of AFTA These are Partial investment numbers only However, the investments will not mature because of the spotty implementation for AFTA. Indonesia is to be praised and commended for leadership in tariff reduction. Thailand and Philippines appear committed to drop to 5% next year and should also be commended.
For the auto industry, AFTA may as well be renamed the “Thai Phil Indo FTA” 20% too high, free trade starts at 5%. Will have to wait until 2003 to see real rationalization. AFTA must be win-win for all countries to work. Need for OEMs to support this for it to work.
(at end) ASEAN should take all steps possible to encourage Malaysia to join AFTA.
Today there is some apprehension about AFTA and how it will impact the auto industry. This AICO is a controlled AFTA, controlled because the products are known and it’s trade balanced. Gives parts makers a measure of confidence. Could it be used as an interim measure for Malaysia?
One of the real impacts of China’s accession into the WTO is that it will serve as an “export accelerator” for China. Issue is TIMING – the threat is today.
External MFN tariffs are not harmonized. CKD parts imported into an ASEAN country from an MFN country are taxed at different rates, such as 42% in Malaysia, 33% in Thailand, 10% in Philippines. This distorts investment patterns, which should be driven by factors such as market size and supplier capability. Modernize Vehicle tax policies. In most countries taxes are still being driven by engine size. There is very little relationship between engine size and fuel economy, and engine size and emissions. Another worrying trend is governments wishing to “make up” for the loss in import duties by raising “downstream” taxes such as excise and luxury tax. This will only lead to less compliance and will further suppress volumes.
