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.
In conclusion, the

    Australia’s reduction in protection levels have gone beyond those required by international trade agreements such as the WTO agreements and the APEC forum. Australia and New Zealand are almost alone amongst advanced economies in pursuing these unilateral reductions. However, in recent years there has been a shift to bilateral agreements, including that with the New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and the USA. USA’s Free Trade Agreement began in 2005. Since then PMV tariffs have been abolished and now more USA cars are…

    Peter Hann describes free trade as, “generally considered by economists to be beneficial to international trade by encouraging competition, innovation, efficient production and consumer choice” (Hann, 2011 para. 1). Free trade allows freedom of international exchanges; with this there are advantages as well as disadvantages. Some advantages consist of cost advantages, factor earnings, cheaper imports, and an enlarged market (Chand, 2015). Cost advantage allows free trade to warrant a portion of possessions and resources. This in turn leads free trade into the most efficient conduct of economic affairs. Factor earnings and cheaper imports allow production factors to increase while import rates decrease. Enlarging the market is an advantage of free trade because it increases the market allowing labor to be possible. The disadvantages of free trade consist of all countries being in conjunction and working together. Meaning it will only work and be productive if all countries participate, if there is one country that decides not to partake in free trade, it will not work. It is also unfair to and creates a disadvantage to countries for those countries that are unable to compete with larger, advanced countries (Chand, 2015).…

    Throughout the long history of the Canada-United States relationship there has been an ongoing discussion about the most effective way to operate trade between the two countries. In the twentieth century, Canada and the United States signed three separate trade agreements that shaped their economic relationship and acted as a new example for how other countries could formulate their own trade agreements. These first two major agreements would build off one another to help create the North American Free Trade Agreement, an agreement that is still in use today and continues to create debate and discussion by the three signatory countries.…

    The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a treaty that lays out the fundamental basis for economic prosperity and economic cooperation between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The implementation of NAFTA has encouraged several economic policies, such as trade liberalization, which in turn have produced several economic benefits, ranging from significant economic growth to the production of jobs in the three nations. However, NAFTA has produced controversy with the possibility of the revocation of the agreement as a whole due to the lack of cooperation amongst the three nations. The trilateral negotiations of NAFTA require international cooperation amongst the parties to increase the effectiveness of the agreement and to ensure…

    Australia's Trade

    • 652 Words
    • 3 Pages

    International trade has several advantages. One of its advantages is the money the Australian government earns through exports, boosting the country’s economy. In 2009, Australia’s two-way trade totalled $506.8 billion, $249.9 billion of which were earned from Australia’s exports. Another advantage would be the job that it creates in the industry. International trade is responsible for more than 2 Million or 1 in 5 jobs in Australia. A third advantage that trade brings would be the relationship that it establishes and strengthens with other countries. Trade strengthens the ties with top trade partners like China, Japan, the United States and Republic of Korea. And another advantage of trade is the improvisation of the Market Access for Australian goods and services. Australia’s goods and services are shipped to over 200 countries daily.…

    The world's poorest countries are at a competitive disadvantage in every sector of their economies. They have little to export. They have no capital; their land is of poor quality; they often have too many people given available work opportunities; and they are poorly educated. Free trade cannot possibly be in the interests of such nations! Discuss.…
