Abstract:

RCEP - the mega-regional trade agreement entered into force on January 1, 2022, involves ten ASEAN Member States, China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. The article aims to characterize the investment regimes of the RCEP Member States, with particular emphasis on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which, from December 31, 2015, formed the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). The analysis confirmed, on the one hand, the high investment attractiveness of the region. On the other hand, however, it indicated the problem of overlapping regulations.
