Viewing cable 06TOKYO7143, UPDATE ON MOFA'S ASIA-PACIFIC ECONOMIC DATA

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06TOKYO7143.

TAGS: APEC OECD JA
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON MOFA'S ASIA-PACIFIC ECONOMIC DATA 
COLLECTION INITIATIVE 
 
SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED -- PLEASE PROTECT ACCORDINGLY. 
 
1. (SBU)  Summary: MOFA continues to plug away at its 
regional economic data collection and analysis proposal (aka 
EiSMAP, the Economic Information Sharing Mechanism of the 
Asia-Pacific), having secured a USD six figure budget line 
item for the project in the draft GOJ FY-2007 budget.  MOFA 
hopes to set up a working group to design EiSMAP in the 
spring of 2007, drawing from the attendees at its 
organizational conference in Kyoto in November 2006.  MOFA 
will push the concept within APEC beginning at the Senior 
Officials Meeting in Canberra in January 2007 and plans to 
open a pilot web portal by the end of the year.  Kyoto 
University professor Takeuchi has become MOFA's point person 
for the initiative.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU)  EMIN spoke on December 26, 2006, with Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs (MOFA) OECD Division Director Tsusumi 
regarding MOFA's efforts to create an "economic information 
sharing mechanism of the Asia-Pacific" (EiSMAP).  Since the 
initial November 2006 organizational meeting in Kyoto hosted 
by MOFA and Kyoto University see below), Japan succeeded in 
placing a note on EiSMAP in the November 2006 APEC joint 
statement ("ministers noted Japan's proposal to promote 
information sharing for sustainable growth of the Asia 
Pacific economy in a more accurate, speedier, and 
user-friendly way").  Tsusumi reported that in the draft GOJ 
budget for FY-2007 agreed last week, MOFA secured more than 
USD 100,000 to support EiSMAP activities in the coming fiscal 
year.  Kyoto professor Takeuchi, designated as the GOJ's 
point person on EiSMAP, is currently visiting Seoul to drive 
up ROK support and interest, and will similarly visit 
Malaysia and IMF headquarters in Washington in the near 
future. 
 
3. (SBU)  For 2007, Tsusumi noted that MOFA hopes to 
establish a working group to design the project this spring, 
have a pilot web portal open by the second half of the year, 
and host a follow-up organizational conference, again in 
Kyoto, perhaps in October.  In addition, MOFA reps will be 
pushing EiSMAP as an APEC undertaking at the APEC Senior 
Officials Meeting in Canberra in January 2007.  Tsusumi 
reported that MOFA is running into opposition to do so from 
Australia and New Zealand due to their commitment to 
re-orient APEC work towards policy rather than additional 
statistical work.  Finally, Tsusumi said MOFA will redouble 
efforts to engage China in the coming year.  Representatives 
of China dropped out of the November 2006 Kyoto EiSMAP 
conference at the last minute due to Beijing's unhappiness 
with Taiwanese participation. 
 
4. (U)  As reported earlier via email, MOFA jointly hosted 
with Kyoto University on November 5-7, 2006, in Kyoto a 
conference on EiSMAP.  MOFA Economic Bureau DG Ishikawa and 
Kyoto professor Takeuchi chaired the proceedings.  Twelve 
countries, four IOs and one economy (Taiwan) were 
represented.  China cancelled at the last minute. 
Representatives from the statistical bureaus of the IMF, ADB, 
IBRD attended, as did the head of the U.S. East-West Center, 
other regional research institutes, and those with long 
experience in the region, including Canada's PECC chair and 
its senior MFA economic policy official. 
 
5. (U)  During the Kyoto meeting, delegates from across the 
spectrum expressed skepticism regarding the proposal's 
objectives; the ability to gather reliable, meaningful, 
accountable data not already collected by other agencies or 
services; the ability to present or process the data to add 
value; the availability of donors to provide the necessary, 
significant resources, including for capacity building; the 
ability of Japan or others to sustain the project over the 
medium/long term; and noted concern that the project could 
harm similar programs or networks already underway.  That 
said, delegates acknowledged that there are serious 
qualitative and quantitative shortcomings in the data 
produced in Asia that have the potential to mislead 
 
policymakers and investors, or contribute to nasty spillovers 
in the event of an economic or environmental crisis in the 
area. 
 
6. (U)  As such, with Japan offering to seek to commit 
resources to a pilot program (for now, just a web-based 
portal) and to manage a task force over the coming year to 
further define the project, delegates agreed that (as one put 
it) there might be a kernel of an idea that deserved support. 
 EMIN pushed hard that any undertaking or commitment of 
resources be done via APEC. 
 
7. (U)  The chair's statement can be found on MOFA's website 
at www.mofa.go.jp/policy/economy/asia/eismap0611 .html.
