Rebuilding the Global Economy:          Rebalance, Connectedness, Sustainability

A PwC survey report conducted in collaboration with the APEC CEO Summit 2009 Organising Committee

Is the worst of the economic crisis over? What is the role of APEC economies in rebuilding the global economy? This report highlights three key areas in which APEC could make substantial contributions:

  • Rebalancing  the global economy to find the right balance between consumption and savings;
  • Promoting and fostering a climate of connectedness among policy makers to work collectively;
  • Staying focused on sustainability  to help ensure future economic growth is underpinned by managing climate change.

The report indicates the importance of strengthening global trade and investment among economies; and the continued voice of members within APEC to engage in crucial discussions in international fora.
