Submission to IA-CEPA discussions

By Dr Jeffrey Wilson

The Indonesia Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) is being negotiated between the Indonesian and Australian governments, with plans to reach agreement before the end of 2017. The IA-CEPA should underpin transformation of the economic relationship between the two nations, creating an engine for growth of trade and investment with ASEAN, and the world beyond. The Perth USAsia Centre made a submission to IA-CEPA discussions, which was authored by Dr Jeffrey Wilson, and focuses on how the agreement can leverage existing and pending trade agreements.

The following submission was prepared by Dr Jeffrey Wilson, a Research Fellow of the PerthUSAsia Centre as part of the Indonesia Working Group program.
