   Business Advisory Council   

Objective
Untitled Document The creation of the Business Advisory Council (BAC) is part of the efforts launched by the Stability Pact to strengthen the process of transforming the countries of the region into market oriented economies, based on a viable private sector and healthy business practices. A special emphasis is being given to a strong role of SMEs


Description
Untitled Document

The BAC was established in January 2000. It is an independent advisory body, consisting of approximately 20 high-level business representatives from the region and from major donor countries. A limited number of observers and guests might be invited, especially representatives from IFIs and other institutions, whose activities are linked with the topics to be dealt with during the meetings.

The members of the BAC give advice to the Stability Pact on business- and investment-related matters. Based on their collective experience and using their diverse background, BAC members present governments with evidence as to why investors do or do not invest in a certain country and propose concrete options to the governments and to international organizations involved in the Stability Pact.

Implementation
Untitled Document The BAC meets several times a year both formally and informally. It operates according to its own rules and procedures, as agreed upon in March this year. In fulfilling its tasks, the BAC is served by the Stability Pact secretariat and by the support structures of the Chairs.  The BAC has declared its readiness to closely cooperate in the implementation of the Investment Compact.
