==APEC Business Advisory Council==
The APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) was created by the APEC Economic Leaders in November 1995 with the aim of providing advice to the APEC Economic Leaders on ways to achieve the Bogor Goals and other specific business sector priorities, and to provide the business perspective on specific areas of co-operation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www2.abaconline.org/|title=Home – APEC Business Advisory Council |website=abaconline.org|access-date=12 November 2017|archive-date=5 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200405122805/https://www2.abaconline.org/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ncapec.org/abac/index.html|title=National Center for APEC – About ABAC|website=ncapec.org|access-date=12 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171113003551/http://www.ncapec.org/abac/index.html|archive-date=13 November 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Each economy nominates up to three members from the private sector to ABAC. These business leaders represent a wide range of industry sectors. ABAC provides an annual report to APEC Economic Leaders containing recommendations to improve the business and investment environment in the Asia-Pacific region, and outlining business views about priority regional issues. ABAC is also the only non-governmental organisation that is on the official agenda of the APEC Economic Leader's Meeting.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chinaapec.org/en/about_apec/content_2.shtml|title=APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) – China APEC Development Council|website=chinaapec.org|access-date=12 November 2017|archive-date=5 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200405122807/http://www.chinaapec.org/en/about_apec/content_2.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref>
