The Trans-Pacific Partnership
CFA & Trade
CFA represents offensive and defensive interests
Largely supportive of the outcome of the TPP, contingent on: real market gains for exporters compensation package for losses & tightening
import leaks for SM
Expect current gov’t to uphold previous gov’ts commitments
Primary gain for exporters is competitive access to Japanese market
