ASEAN Economic Ministers’ Joint Media Statement sets target to finalize first batch of ATISA Schedules of Non-Conforming Measures by April 2026

The Joint Media Statement of the 57th ASEAN Economic Ministers’ (AEM) Meeting includes a services-integration timeline signal under the ASEAN Trade in Services Agreement (ATISA), noting a target for member states to finalize a first batch of Schedules of Non-Conforming Measures by April 2026. Compliance teams (especially services providers operating cross-border in ASEAN) should monitor progress and published schedules as they can affect market access conditions and sector-specific regulatory constraints under ATISA implementation.
