ABAC's annual reports to APEC Economic Leaders outline business views about priority regional issues and contain recommendations to improve the business and investment environment in the APEC region. Many of ABAC's recommendations, for example the idea of a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, have become core APEC activities.
ABAC also undertook to establish a mechanism for monitoring compliance with the recent crisis-related G20 commitments and with WTO trade liberalisation undertakings. The results will be made public on a regular basis.
Following the meeting, ABAC members wrote to their respective Leaders reminding them of their commitments, calling for the conclusion of the Doha Round and providing them with updates on the discussions and agreed outcomes from the meeting.
