Although this instrument does not contain provisions (such as those for entry into force) that would clearly categorise it as having the status of a treaty, it makes amendments to the 1997 Ministerial Understanding on Cooperation in Finance, whose terms more closely resemble a treaty. This instrument is listed as being “in force” on the ASEAN Legal Instruments site.
