New Zealand businesses play a part in the APEC process. Feedback from businesses on trade issues helps to have these issues addressed through APEC and other channels.
The APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) provides a link between APEC and the business community. Each year ABAC prepares a report for Leaders recording key issues of importance/concern to them. This culminates in a dialogue between Leaders and ABAC at the annual Leaders meeting.
New Zealand’s ABAC members – Phil Lewin, Tony Nowell and John Blackham - are active advocates for business. For more information on ABAC, visit the ABAC website or the ABAC section of the Asia New Zealand website.
Business people enjoy visa-free travel between 17 APEC economies with the APEC Business Travel Card. For further information, visit the NZ Immigration Service website.
The APEC Tariff Database provides comprehensive tariff data for APEC countries
The Individual Action Plans provide up-to-date information on trade and investment policies in member economies.
Auckland University hosts New Zealand’s APEC Study Centre, part of a regional network of institutions which supports the APEC process.
