In September 2007, APEC Ministers agreed to establish the APEC Policy Support Unit (PSU) — a research and analysis arm for APEC. To be attached to the APEC Secretariat, the unit will be funded by voluntary contributions and overseen by a governance board. The PSU became operational in 2008, and operates under a set of governance arrangements. Its mandate has been extended until the end of 2020 following the agreement of the APEC Ministers at the 2012 APEC Ministerial Meeting.
The PSU’s policy research and analysis agenda is structured into five core areas: Trade and investment liberalization and facilitation; Structural reform; Connectivity including supply chain connectivity and global supply chains; Economic and financial analysis; Sustainable economic development.
