APEC ensures that goods, services, investment and people move easily across borders. Member economies learn from each other, align regulations, address standards and coordinate to create favorable business climates.
To support sustainable economic growth and
prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region
As a result of APEC’s work, economic growth in the region has doubled since 1989.
And as the economy grows, it is an equally crucial part of APEC’s mission to help everyone benefit from it. The people of the Asia-Pacific saw their per capita income rise threefold, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and creating a growing middle class in just over two decades.
What is APEC?
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a group of 21 economies located in the Asia- Pacific region that are dedicated to achieving a shared prosperity through economic growth and free trade.
Officials from APEC economies convene every year, throughout the year, to discuss ways to facilitate trade and promote sustainable economic growth across the region. During these meetings, everyone is equal: big and small economies work side-by-side to develop workable solutions to trade and investment barriers.
The forum was formed in 1989 as an informal dialogue among government officials from 12 economies. Since then, its membership and scope has expanded.
Today, APEC members make up a big part of the world. The member economies are home to around 2.9 billion people and represent one of the most valuable economic regions. In 2017, APEC accounted for more than half of GDP and half of the world trade.
