Abstract

ASEAN Economy Community (AEC) which was implemented in early 2016, has made free international trade possible in the ASEAN region. One of the main focuses of AEC is to increase trade between ASEAN countries. Therefore, AEC hopefully can give significant impact on Indonesia trade after its implementation. This research discusses whether the value of Indonesia's exports and imports to ASEAN countries is significantly different or equal by comparing before and after AEC implementation, using a non-parametric statistical approach. The data of Indonesia's exports and imports to ASEAN countries are from Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS-Statistics Indonesia) that has been processed by Ministry of Trade, Indonesia. The value of Indonesia's exports and imports to ASEAN countries in 2015 is classified as before the AEC implementation and that data in 2016 is classified as after AEC implementation. The statistical method used in data analysis is the Wilcoxon Test. With 95% confidence level, the researcher confirms that the value of Indonesia's exports and imports of trade to ASEAN countries is significantly equal before and after the implementation of AEC. Because of it, the implementation of the AEC is considered to be less than optimal to increase trade between ASEAN countries.
