Dear maria, We just published a new blog—please find the full text below.  How to Close Gender Gaps and Grow the Global Economy (IMAGE: BEASTFROMEAST/ISTOCK BY GETTY IMAGES) By Kristalina Georgieva, Antoinette Sayeh and Ratna Sahay Too many women are locked out of economic opportunities, which is not only unfair but also harms growth and resilience for all. We know that in countries with greater gender inequality just closing the gap in women’s labor force participation could increase economic output by an average of 35 percent. Progress, however, is slow to come and shocks, such as health and climate disasters, social unrest, and war continue to worsen gender inequality by directly affecting women’s lives and livelihoods or keeping them out of school and work.

AHEPA Applauds U.S.' Full Lifting of Arms Restrictions on Cyprus

WASHINGTON, DC - Supreme President Jimmy Kokotas has issued the following statement: “We applaud the Biden administration’s decision yesterday to lift fully the limitations placed on the transfer of defense articles to Cyprus in accordance with compliance on an annual basis under law. “We commend the Administration for recognizing it is in the best interest of the United States to take this rightful action that further enhances relations between the United States and the Republic of Cyprus.   “The United States recognizes the Republic of Cyprus as a strategic partner, especially in combating terrorism and providing regional stability. This important measure taken by the Administration is the next logical step in the relationship’s progression that began with 2018’s Statement of Intent agreement.   “The significance of this decision by the United States at a time when malign influences are prevalent in the region, and tensions in the Aegean are escalated, cannot be understated.   “We thank our bipartisan champions in Congress, especially Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Robert Menendez and the active Congressional Hellenic Caucus in the House, who passed legislation and pressed successive Administrations to implement this policy change to its fullest extent. “We also commend the community’s collective advocacy for this policy victory.”

APEC Boosts SMEs’ Competitiveness through Health Ethics Pacts

Issued by the APEC Small and Medium Enterprises Working Group

Bangkok, Thailand, 19 September 2022

APEC is ramping up efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of the region’s small businesses in the health sector through the expansion of public-private business ethics pacts.

The Business Ethics for APEC SMEs initiative aims to further help small businesses address risks, such as corruption across the health ecosystem, while encouraging them to share best practices, partner with governments to promote ethical business conduct, as well as engage in multistakeholder collaboration.

“Micro, small and medium enterprises in the medical device and biopharmaceutical industries played crucial role during the height of the pandemic, ensuring availability of products and services despite the disruptions and challenges,” said Norlela Suhailee, the Chair of the APEC Small and Medium Enterprises Working Group.

“Our small businesses need a transparent and predictable operating environment to deliver lifesaving products, to develop innovative solutions for the future, to operate sustainably and continue their engagement in cross-border trade.” she added.

At the 2022 APEC Business Ethics for SMEs Forum, held on 12-13 September in Bangkok, industry associations representing thousands of small businesses in the medical technology and biopharmaceutical sectors joined government, patient organizations, and healthcare providers to contribute to a guide to help stakeholders from member economies coalesce around the implementation of ethics pacts.

There are currently 11 agreements for ethical collaboration, which bring together more than 300 organizations representing tens of thousands of small businesses as well as healthcare professionals and patients.

Participants at the forum provided their inputs to the guide, contributing to the development of a suite of resources and best practices to bolster ethical collaboration, including effective governance, operations, communications and sustainability. The new resource guide will be published next year in collaboration with the Basel Institute on Governance. 

“It is incumbent on all of us to ensure that the region’s health economy is vibrant, innovative, competitive and free of corruption—to foster sustainable growth and to best serve the billions of patients across our markets,” said Marisa Lago, Undersecretary of International Trade at the U.S. Department of Commerce, which oversees the initiative. 

“Consensus frameworks have the power to unite diverse stakeholders with disparate interests to expand the possibilities of ethical business practices in a given economy,” Lago explained.

Consensus frameworks are critical to advancing ethical business conduct to support small businesses within health systems, and represent each economy’s commitment to strengthening multistakeholder collaboration. This includes adherence to rules within respective health systems and alignment of ethical principles across diverse stakeholders. 

“Consensus frameworks are voluntary agreements that set the table for building trust across health systems—bringing together diverse stakeholders to simultaneously elevate standards of integrity,” said Thomas Cueni, Director General of International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations. 

“With a mission to improve standards of governance, the forum’s outcomes well position APEC economies for continued growth and success in ethical collaboration in the health sector and in support of high-quality patient care,” he concluded.
