Abstract
The trade policy authorities in Japan were profoundly interested in the formation of APEC, and has been enthusiastic about APEC’s development.
The views expressed in this chapter are the personal views of the author, and should not be taken as being those of the Japanese government. The author is an academic economist and, while also Director General of the Research Institute of International Trade and Industry of the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), has little specialist knowledge of APEC. He wishes to express his thanks to a number of colleagues at MITI and Aoyama Gakuin University, who provided information and made comments on an earlier draft.
