RCEP: A New Trade Agreement Shaping Global Economics

Event Details

The ECCP, in collaboration with the European Business Organisation Worldwide Network (EBOWWN), is organising a webinar on the RCEP. The RCEP is a free trade agreement (FTA) that was signed on 15 November 2020 between the 10 ASEAN Members, its dialogue partners Australia, China, Japan, Korea and New Zealand, and is an important milestone in the regional economic integration. Companies that are located in the RCEP-region can leverage on this FTA and benefit from the preferential market access provided.

Learn how our experts on the ground evaluate the key achievements and limitations of the RCEP. They will also discuss the impact the trade deal will likely have on supply chains and trade volumes across Asia.

Zoom link will be sent to registered attendees via a separate email. For registration inquiries, please contact Elena Tabbu at elena.tabbu@eccp.com.
