KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 — Consistent policies and common mechanisms across Asean can help create a more connected market, making the bloc more attractive to capital and providing a base of stability for the region’s future progress.

Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said that adopting common policies, such as standardised emissions measurement, consistent intervention tools, and aligned taxonomy in areas like climate change, would make Asean markets more fluid and interconnected, allowing the region to be seen as a single market rather than a collection of separate countries.
