Assessment of Achievements of the Bogor Goals in 2010

When APEC Leaders gathered in Bogor, Indonesia in 1994, they committed to achieve free and open trade and investment by 2010 for industrialized economies and by 2020 for developing economies. APEC members agreed to pursue this goal by further reducing barriers to trade and investment and by promoting the free flow of goods, services and capital.

These targets became known as the "Bogor Goals," an ambitious manifestation of APEC's common belief that free and open trade and investment are essential to realize the growth potential of the region and enhance economic and social outcomes for all APEC economies.

Assessment of Achievements of the Bogor Goals in 2010

In 2010, the target year for the industrialized economies to achieve the Bogor Goals, five industrialized economies, as well as eight volunteering developing economies, underwent a detailed assessment of progress made in free and open regional trade and investment under the Bogor Goals, which was conducted by APEC.

Based on the analyses of these efforts and achievements made by these thirteen economies, and taking into account the various developments of global circumstances, APEC Leaders concluded that while more work remains to be done, significant progress has been made toward achieving the Bogor Goals at their Meeting in Yokohama, Japan in 2010.
