• Qualitative assessment:• Focusing attention as well as in providing framework; and• provided a basis to share information about facilitation activities and track

progress.


TFAP II Assessment

• Assessment at both aggregate and micro (sub‐fora) levels:

• Aggregate level: (a) Conducted by using the Trading Across Borders database. (b) The PSU TFAP II interim assessment report (2010): by the end

of 2008, trade transaction costs had been reduced by 1.7%, which represented savings for APEC member economies

equivalent to USD14 billion.

• Micro level:Conducted by measuring the specific KPIs

developed at the fora

or sub‐fora

level (BMG, ECSG, SCCP, SCSC).


• APEC is looking to move beyond reducing transaction costs addressed in the TFAPs

and expand its trade facilitation work

• Inclusion of trade logistics issues in the trade facilitation agenda in 2009.

•The SCC Framework has been developed building on policy recommendations from the Supply‐Chain Connectivity

Symposium in May 2009

Supply Chain Connectivity


• In 2010, the CTI agreed to adopt 10 percent as the overarching target for improving supply‐chain performance in

terms of time, cost and uncertainty by 2015.

• The criteria for assessment will take into account the diversity among the member economies, as well as progress achieved

in respective economies in their implementation of the TFAPs and the development of their respective transport corridors, etc.

Goals of Supply Chain Connectivity Framework


Reducing Trading Time, Cost and Uncertainty


• Due to the strong synergies between TFAP II and SCI, some of the remaining work under this plan will be subsumed under

the SCI.

• APEC is exploring in using the TAB (Trading Across Borders), LPI (Logistics Performance Index) and ETI (Enabling Trade

Index) as external indicators in measuring SCI progress.

Way forward
