Regional Integration Boosts the Development of the Asia-Pacific Economy
Regional economic integration has become a hot topic in academia and industry today, and it has attracted widespread attention from leaders of various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Why is this? The reason is quite simple. It is able to connect the industrial chain and supply chain in the region and turn these into a value chain, so as to effectively revitalize the country’s stock resources.  This allows a country to tap into regional incremental resources, optimize resources, and resolve national employment issues promptly, expand and cultivate government tax resources and achieve the objective of overcoming national difficulties in good time.
There were two important events which took place in November of this year, these were the APEC meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the ASEAN Summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, where the RCEP Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement were signed. 
These two major events fully demonstrated the necessity and importance of multilateral resource integration for regional economic integration. This integration will facilitate the breaking through of the economic bottleneck in the post-pandemic era, whilst giving play to the overall advantages of regional integration of resources, and aiding in the sustainable development of the Asia-Pacific economy.
In order to meet the development needs and the popular request of the readers, our magazine has opened a new section called the "Regional Economic Special Issue". There shall be special reports, comments, and Q&A included in this special section. 
In addition, there will be original articles written by financial journalists, special commentators, PhDs and professors from 6 different countries including Malaysia, Australia, Thailand and South Korea, with clear-cut vision, novel opinions and insights.

Business Environment: A Hot Topic of The New Economic Environment

The current business environment is the most talked about these days globally. What is a business environment? Why are these business environments important? How to improve the business environment? How does the financial sector respond to the pandemic situation? So many questions and very few definitive answers at this juncture.

The current environment has created a sense of uncertainties among the business communities, as well as to individuals of all walks of life around the world, it has become a global concern. To address these concerns, we have initiated a special forum, focusing on providing some answers and topics to be covered include” A Country’s Business Environment is A Measure of the Productivity”, “China’s Secrets in Accelerating Business Competitiveness”, “Malaysia: An Ideal Investment Destination in ASEAN”, “Indonesia: Islands of Opportunities”, “Exploring Opportunities of Financial Institutions in the Greater Bay Area Development Plan”, “Dr Lucio Tan----Asia Pacific’s Legendary Businessman”, “Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Usher Rapid Development Opportunities After the Epidemic” and “The Impact of Covid-19 Epidemic on China’s Capital Market and Related Policy Recommendation”. We hope that these topics may be able to share some insightful information with readers.

These in-depth articles are sourced first-hand from scholars, professors, business leaders and senior journalists from People’s Republic of China, Republic of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Japan in the Asia-Pacific region.

APER is determined to invite many more scholars, economists, experts, business leaders and perhaps law makers of different faculties from all over Asia-Pacific to contribute and to quench the thirst of our growing readers.
