The purpose of the Dashboard is to provide easy-to-understand figures to track the advancement in areas critical to promoting greater regional economic integration, such as liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment. The intention is to display a set of harmonized indicators laying out the evolution across time of certain aspects of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation in quantitative terms.

This Dashboard includes indicators gathered from respectable public sources for the period 2008-2016. The data and indicators used in the Dashboard were compiled by the Policy Support Unit and do not necessarily reflect the views of the APEC Secretariat or APEC member economies.
