Productivity Commission to review trade deals
The Federal Government has ordered a Productivity Commission review of Australia’s bilateral and regional trade agreements, which will measure our trade and investment performance and identify any barriers.
While the Rudd government supports multilateral deals such as the Doha Round, Australia’s focus on bilateral and regional trade and investment has resulted in six Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and the negotiation of seven others.
The Productivity Commission study will examine the effectiveness of trade agreements in responding to national and global economic and trade developments and in contributing to efforts to boost Australia’s engagement in the region and evolving regional economic architecture.
To register an interest in the study, or for further information, please visit the Productivity Commission website.
