Pada tahun ini, sebagian besar warga negara ASEAN akan
menghadapi salah satu program ASEAN yaitu Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN atau yang biasa disebut MEA. MEA merupakan realisasi dari Visi ASEAN 2020 yaitu untuk melakukan integrasi terhadap ekonomi negara-negara ASEAN dengan membentuk pasar tunggal dan basis produksi bersama. Hukum dasar Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN pada pasal 1 ayat 5 dalam piagam ASEAN dan Dewan Perdagangan Bebas ASEAN. Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN adalah perjanjian dari 10 negara anggota ASEAN untuk meningkatkan ekonomi di kawasan ASEAN sehingga pertumbuhan ekonomi yang merata, meningkatkan standar hidup, dan yang paling penting adalah untuk mengurangi kemiskinan. 10 negara terdiri dari Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapura, Brunei Darussalam, Filipina, Laos, Kamboja, dan Vietnam. Implementasi AEC 2015 akan fokus pada 12 sektor prioritas, yang terdiri dari 7 sektor hal industri, yaitu pertanian, peralatan elektronik, otomotif, perikanan, industri karet, kayu, tekstil dan 5 sektor jasa, yaitu transportasi udara, pelayanan kesehatan , pariwisata, logistik, dan e-ASEAN.
Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN memberikan banyak kesempatan untuk
semua anggota ASEAN untuk memperluas skala ekonomi, mengurangi kemiskinan dan kesenjangan sosial ekonomi, meningkatkan daya tarik bagi investor dan turis, menurunkan biaya transaksi perdagangan, dan meningkatkan fasilitas perdagangan dan bisnis. Untuk Indonesia, ada banyak kesempatan untuk merebutkan persaingan Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN 2015. alasan pertama adalah karena Indonesia merupakan pasar potensial dan memiliki wilayah terbesar dan memiliki populasi 40 persen dari seluruh populasi ASEAN. Kondisi ini dapat membuat Indonesia menjadi negara ekonomi produktif dan dinamis dan menjadi pemimpin pasar ASEAN di masa depan dengan peluang pasar dan dominasi investasi.
Alasan kedua adalah karena Indonesia merupakan negara investor
ASEAN. Indonesia mencapai 43 persen dari proporsi investasi negara ASEAN dibandingkan anggota ASEAN lain. Mereka hanya mencapai 15 persen proporsi dari investasi negara ASEAN. Alasan terakhir adalah karena Indonesia memiliki bonus demografi. Perbandingan Penduduk produktif di Indonesia dengan negara ASEAN lain adalah 38: 100, artinya dalam 100 populasi ASEAN, 38 adalah penduduk Indonesia. Diprediksi, Indonesia ditahun 2035 masih bisa menikmati keuntungan ini. Indonesia diharapkan dengan total penduduk produktif akan mampu mempertahankan pertumbuhan ekonomi dan meningkatkan pendapatan penduduk Indonesia.
Kesimpulannya, AEC merupakan bentuk integrasi ekonomi regional
yang direncanakan akan dicapai pada tahun 2015. Keterlibatan semua pihak di semua negara anggota ASEAN mutlak diperlukan dalam rangka mewujudkan ASEAN sebagai kawasan yang kompetitif untuk investasi dan perdagangan bebas, yang pada gilirannya dapat memberikan manfaat untuk semua negara ASEAN. Untuk Indonesia, jumlah penduduk, luas dan lokasi geografis serta nilai PDB terbesar di ASEAN harus menjadi aset sehingga Indonesia bisa menjadi pemain utama dalam AEC 2015.
