Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
Canada participates as a Member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC), which was established in 1989 in response to the growing
interdependence among Asia-Pacific economies. APEC has since become
an important regional vehicle for promoting open trade and practical
economic cooperation.
The activities of APEC's committees and working groups aim to promote
regional economic growth and cooperation and build an Asia-Pacific
community. APEC groups are working to achieve trade and investment
liberalization, the reduction and removal of formal barriers to
trade, such as tariffs, and restrictions on foreign investment.
The Investment Experts' Group (IEG) is a subgroup of the APEC Committee
on Trade and Investment (CTI). It was established in 1994 to bring
together officials in the region involved in the regulation of foreign
investment. Its main role is to assist the CTI in achieving the
investment-related components of APEC's liberalization and facilitation
agenda.
