Thai Chamber of Commerce mulls CPTPP
The Thai Chamber of Commerce is pondering whether to back a controversial proposal to have Thailand join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to boost international trade in the aftermath of Covid-19.
The trade agreement involving a newly formed bloc of 11 Pacific Rim nations, excluding the United States and China, is expected to help boost GDP. But the chamber has also raised concerns over the negative effects on food security and access to certain medicines.
