PGMA to push for welfare of small entrepreneurs amid global crisis

 

LIMA, Peru (via PLDT)-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will push for the welfare of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the country during the 16th APEC Leaders Summit here which opens Saturday.

The President and the other leaders of the 21-member Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) will hold a dialogue with the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) on the first day of the summit.

She will be accompanied by the three Philippine representatives to the ABAC, a group comprising of widely recognized business leaders from the Asia Pacific rim.

The ABAC members will present specific recommendations to the APEC leaders during their dialogue right after the APEC Leaders’ Retreat 1 at the 7th Floor of the Ministry of Defense (MOD) convention center here on Saturday afternoon.

Among these recommendations are: collaboration and activity-based regulations within and across APEC economies to address the global credit contraction; acceleration of APEC regional economic integration; addressing problems on food supply and prices; reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; and support for the development of SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region.

These and other recommendations will be formally issued to the APEC Economic Leaders for critical consideration by the APEC policy-makers.
