The 2011 APEC Economic Policy Report (AEPR) was released on the sidelines during the meetings of APEC officials in Big Sky, Montana, United States from 7-21 May 2011. The report shows the progress of individual APEC economies in pursuing domestic structural reforms. It also evaluates APEC’s work in raising awareness of the importance of structural reforms, and building the capacity of its member economies, particularly developing ones, to carry them out.
