APEC CEO Summit 2009 PM Lee Hsien Loong Singapore

The APEC CEO Summit 2009 was held in conjunction with Singapore’s hosting of the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting 2009. The APEC CEO Summit 2009 took place on the 20th anniversary of APEC’s founding.

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a forum for 21 Pacific Rim countries (styled ‘member economies’) to cooperate on regional trade and investment liberalisation and facilitation. APEC’s objective is to enhance economic growth and prosperity in the region and to strengthen the Asia-Pacific community. Members account for approximately 40% of the world’s population, approximately 54% of world GDP and about 44% of world trade.

This is an interesting forum whereby the political leaders of the Asia Pacific countries meet up and interact with key business leaders of the world.

The theme for 2009 is ‘Sustaining Growth, Connecting the Region’. APEC Singapore 2009 will build on APEC’s work to date in promoting economic growth, cooperation, trade and investment across the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, given today’s challenging global economic environment, APEC Singapore 2009 is also focused on overcoming the economic crisis and positioning member economies for a sustainable recovery in the post-crisis world. The main areas for discussion during the year are: Positioning for Economic Recovery; Supporting Multilateral Trading Systems; and Accelerating Regional Economic Integration.
