ASEAN Economic Integration Programme (AEIP) Financial Services Pillar
Authority: Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe AEIP Financial Services pillar aims to support wider availability and use of quality financial services in Asean member states to enable greater financial resilience and economic opportunities, particularly for MSMEs and women.
The intended outcome of the FSp is that AMS adopt and implement ASEAN-led policy recommendations and reforms that promote financial inclusion in the region. The programme will achieve this through technical assistance, capacity building and knowledge-transfer partnerships (“expert support”) for the ASEAN Secretariat, AMS, and Timor-Leste, drawing on expertise in UK institutions.
