The APEC goal of reducing or eliminating the requirement for mandated paper-based documents in cross-border trade has the potential to revolutionise the conduct of trade within the Asia-Pacific region. Realising this goal has been integral to the work of the Electronic Commerce Steering Group (ECSG).
The Paperless Trading Individual Action Plan (IAP) will improve the transparency of the paperless trading systems in economies as members make periodic updates to chart their progress on efforts to promote and realise paperless trading in their home economies. This will also keep all members informed of the relevant stages each economy has reached.
