New Zealand is a party to a number of completed free trade and investment agreements. These are: the Australia-New Zealand Closer Economic Relations Agreement (1983); the New Zealand-Singapore Closer Economic Partnership (2001); the New Zealand-Thailand Closer Economic Partnership (2005); the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership or P4 (2005) and the New Zealand-China Free Trade Agreement (2008).
New Zealand is currently negotiating FTAs with Malaysia, ASEAN (together with Australia), Hong Kong (stalled) and the GCC, while a New Zealand-India deal is under study. While talk of a US-New Zealand FTA was hotly resisted and never got off the ground, partly because of New Zealand’s anti-nuclear policy, the expansion of the P4 agreement to include the US threatens to bring important changes to New Zealand policies. New Zealand has also signed a number of IPPAs (bilateral investment treaties) with Chile, Argentina, Hong Kong, China and others. last update: April 2009 Articles
