APEC Leaders committed in 2010 to take a holistic approach to identifying and systematically
addressing impediments to moving goods and services throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The
objective of APEC's Supply Chain Connectivity Initiative (SCI), managed by APEC’s Committee on
Trade and Investment (CTI), is to improve the flow of goods and services within the APEC region by 2015, measured by 10% improvements in supply-chain performance in terms of reduced time, cost, and uncertainty.
