Executive Summary i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2015, APEC Leaders endorsed a forward-thinking initiative, called the APEC Strategy for Strengthening Quality Growth (ASSQG). It mandated action in areas that APEC has not extensively discussed as a forum: formal and informal institutions, trust and social cohesion, and addressing climate change. While APEC has grown comfortable in tackling exclusively economic issues such as trade or cross-border investment, the future-oriented APEC Leaders called on the forum to address the social and environmental issues that can contribute to — or diminish support for — regional economic integration.

It just happens to be the perfect time for an exercise in self-reflection because the world is shifting around us, in part due to technological disruption to many industries which has affected the economy and our individual lives. It is an exciting time to take on this role. The world we live in today is more prosperous and yet less equal, always connected but more divided than ever. Policymakers face challenges that they did not have to grapple APEC has always been about ideas.

  • APEC 2019, Los Tres Temas Centrales De La Agenda Serán La Economía Digital, La Conectividad Y El Rol De Las Mujeres En El Crecimiento Económico De La Región
    APEC Chile 2019: “Conectando personas, construyendo el futuro” En noviembre de 2019, Chile albergará por segunda vez la Cumbre de Líderes APEC, instancia que congregará en nuestro país a los líderes de las principales economías del Asia Pacífico y el mundo. Al igual que en 2004, Chile tendrá la oportunidad de establecer temas prioritarios dentro de la agenda de trabajo y de realizar encuentros bilaterales que permitan estrechar los vínculos políticos y comerciales. En APEC 2019, los tres temas centrales de la agenda serán la economía digital, la conectividad y el rol de las mujeres en el crecimiento económico de la región. I. Introducción El 10 de noviembre de 1994, Chile ingresó oficialmente al Foro de Cooperación Económica del Asia Pacífico (APEC en inglés) durante la Cumbre de Líderes en Bogor (Indonesia). Desde entonces, nuestro país ha tenido una activa participación en la promoción del comercio libre y abierto en la región Asia Pacífico. Para Chile, APEC se constituye como el principal esquema de integración económica en la región, demostrando ser un órgano catalizador de los procesos de liberalización comercial. APEC ha funcionado como un instrumento para implementar de manera efectiva los objetivos de política exterior de Chile en la región, tanto a nivel bilateral como multilateral. Reflejo de esto son los numerosos Tratados de Libre Comercio que Chile ha suscrito en el seno del Foro. Entre las Cumbres de APEC 2010 – 2017, se han firmado Tratados de Libre Comercio con Malasia, Vietnam y Hong Kong, mientras se ha anunciado la suscripción de acuerdos comerciales con Australia, Canadá, EE.UU, México, Corea del Sur, Perú, China, Japón, el P4 1 y la profundización del TLC con China.
