ReferencesSummaryThe 2005 review of progress towards free and open trade and investment offers APEC leaders the opportunity to give the process new purpose and direction.The mid-term stocktake of the Bogor goals demonstrates that, since 1994, APEC economies have moved significantly closer to the vision of free and open trade and investment. Average tariffs are considerably lower, often at or close to zero. There are now only a few quantitative restrictions on trade. People and capital are moving more freely around the region. More efficient customs procedures, progress towards paperless trading, mutual recognition of standards and other practical arrangements to facilitate trade and investment are already saving billions of dollars per year.

ReferencesSummaryAPEC can be proud of some solid achievements since it was founded in 1989, but now is a very useful time to evaluate the precise nature of its contributions and to attempt to define a new vision for the organisation. There is now only five years until 2010, by which time the developed economies have agreed to meet their Bogor goals. There is a further 10 years until the developing economies are supposed to have reached a similar goal, but in many cases there is still a great deal to do before reaching that standard. So, there is some urgency about the matter, and this is reflected in the creation of the mid-term review process within APEC. (The rest is omitted.) -

Economic developmentDownloadContent..SummaryChina today is reformulating its technology industrialization strategy. The hard work, the benefits of latecomer status and effective industrial policy that brought our country to the level of a developed economy are no longer adequate for competition in the future. For the last 10 years, technology industrialization has become a key element of competitiveness like the quality of workforce and capital because it has been proved one of the most important determinants of nation's productivity and economic growth.

ReferencesSummaryThis paper investigates how well the financial markets in East Asia are integrated with each other and compare the degree of this regional integration with the degree of integration between East Asian markets and the US market. We use three approaches: volume-based approach, asset price-based approach, and international risk sharing approach. Our results indicate that the degree of financial integration in East Asia has been recently increased, but our overall results suggest that it is due to the integration with a global market rather than regional integration.

Notifications of Major Country and Region by Comment Period OfferedSummaryAlong with the rapid reduction of traditional trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas, institutional factors including technical regulations have proliferated and increased their impact on international trade. Other factors that have impacted upon technical regulations include technical progress, and increased interests in welfare such as safety, health and environmental protection. Technical regulations are not dominated by developed countries or by some high-tech products. They are applied virtually to any product that is traded between countries and diffused from developed countries to developing countries in various regions like Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and Eastern Europe.

Economic integration, Free tradeDownloadContent해당 사항 없음.SummaryNew movements in the Middle East region are adding to internal conflicts and natural resources (such as oil and natural gas), issues that often captures world's attention. One new big movement was made by Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a regional organization aimed at protecting political, military and economic interests of six nations in the Gulf region including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE. Recently, GCC is deepening internal integration by realizing a customs union and drafting framework for the introduction of a single currency. At the same time, GCC is advancing external integration by promoting trade agreements with the world's main traders. So far GCC has concluded a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Lebanon and some progress is being made on FTA negotiations with China (the GCC's biggest trade partner), India and Jordan.

Since then, India has achieved a more than average 6 percent economic growth and developed a more solid and sound economic structure. Its monsoon dependent agriculture sector decreased its proportion in overall economy to less than 20 percent, while the IT-led service sector assumed about 55% of India's total GDP.
