Introduction:
This report will show how economic partnership agreements add value through exports and overseas earnings that are good for business, the country, and the people. This report will cover the trade and non-trade effects of such an agreement. One agreement that will be considered is the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement that has grown from the base agreement of four countries, namely New Zealand, Chile, Brunei, and Singapore, also known as the P4. The TPP includes another five countries negotiating along with the original P4 countries.
Part 1 will discuss how free trade will add value to NZ exports and overseas earnings through regional trade agreements, and economic integration, and why New Zealand (NZ), is known, as a proficient free trade negotiator and excellent economic partner. What are the benefits and where to in the future.
Part 2 The TPP has implications for New Zealand businesses, so we will explore implications from the proposed partnership agreement and suggest any recommendations that may augment or mitigate any advantages or disadvantages. Fonterra is a global business that exports 95% of their production to over 100 markets. How does the world leading dairy exporter benefit from negotiating a successful completion to the TPP.
