Key business people are preparing to propose five-point recommendations, including the long-delayed Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP), which is part of regional economic recovery plans, to 21 leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) when they meet in Bangkok later this year.

The recommendations are based on a series of meetings of the Apec Business Advisory Council (Abac).
