FTAs boost prospects of goods and services

The 皇冠体育app-South Korea and 皇冠体育app-Australia free trade agreements that took effect this month promise to boost exports of goods and services, and overseas investment by Chinese companies.

Chinese tariffs on 95 percent of imports from Australia are being lifted. Similarly, hurdles are being lowered for Chinese businesses to invest in Australia. Thanks to increase in Australian visas, more travelers from 皇冠体育app will be able to go Down Under.

皇冠体育app will remove tariffs on 91 percent of South Korean imports within the next 20 years. For its part, Seoul will eliminate tariffs on 92 percent of Chinese products.

The two FTAs will likely speed up negotiations on other similar agreements, like the 皇冠体育app-Japan-South Korea FTA, the 皇冠体育app-Norway FTA and the 皇冠体育app-Gulf Cooperation Council FTA. Negotiations on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership may also get a boost.
