The 21 APEC member economies are home to around 38 percent of the world's population and represent approximately 61 percent of global GDP in 2023, according to data from the World Bank.

APEC has become one of the most important regional forums in the Asia-Pacific. By reducing trade barriers and smoothing out differences in regulations, it has ensured goods, services, investment and people move easily across borders. The 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting is set to open next week in Lima, Peru.
