2017 ABAC

Leaders push for structural and trade reform

In their annual report to APEC leaders, released today, members of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) called on leaders to show leadership on further liberalization of trade in goods and services as well as investment flows.

These issues will be discussed by ABAC members in their annual dialogue with APEC leaders this Friday.

“This means tackling structural reforms and non-traffic barriers, encouraging cross-border investment and maintaining the commitment to make the Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific a reality,” the 2017 ABAC Chair Hoang Van Dung said.
