Assessment of Achievements of the Bogor Goals in 2014

2014 Bogor Goals Progress Report of twenty-one APEC member economies

The assessment of the progress towards the Bogor Goals includes two components: 1) Progress Reports with qualitative information mostly drawn from the Individual Action Plans submitted by APEC member economies; and 2) Dashboards with quantitative indicators drawn from well-known and respected external sources.

The assessment of the achievement of Bogor Goals by APEC and its twenty-one member economies can be found in the APEC's Bogor Goals Progress Report and APEC's Bogor Goals Dashboard

In general, the analysis of the information shows that progress has been uneven across APEC economies and across areas. It is clear that more work needs to be done. Whilst several areas such as services, customs procedures (time to trade), government procurement, competition policy, regulatory reform, intellectual property rights and mobility of business people, among others, showed encouraging results since the previous assessment conducted in 2012; other traditional areas such as tariffs, non-tariff measures, standards and conformance and customs procedures (cost to trade) experienced very modest progress or setbacks.
