Following on from Chapter 19, this chapter addresses trade and investment provisions which may serve as mechanisms for enabling countries to advance their achievement of their targets under Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) 6 to 11. These seek to secure access to clean water and sanitation (SDG 6) and affordable, clean energy (SDG 7), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9), reduced inequality (SDG 10) and sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11). The chapter explores the diverse array of angles from which trade and investment agreements have addressed these SDGs, drawing on examples from recent agreements including the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the Japan-Switzerland Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA).

AbstrakPenelitian ini mengevaluasi tingkat pemanfaatan Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) dan Indonesia-Pakistan Preferential Trade Agreement (IPPTA) dalam ekspor dan impor Indonesia ke Jepang dan Pakistan. Tingkat pemanfaatan FTA untuk ekspor menggunakan rasio nilai perdagangan yang termuat dalam Surat Keterangan Asal (SKA) terhadap nilai ekspor ke negara mitra. Sedangkan tingkat pemanfaatan impor menggunakan rasio nilai impor produk yang memenuhi syarat terhadap total impor Indonesia dari negara mitra. Studi ini menemukan bahwa pemanfaatan IJEPA (2012-2016) cenderung menurun. Pada tahun 2016 tingkat pemanfaatan ekspor sebesar 47,2%. Sementara pemanfaatan IPPTA untuk ekspor ke Pakistan mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan sejak diimplementasi tahun 2013 dengan tingkat pemanfaatan ekspor sebesar 72,0% pada tahun 2016. Di sisi impor pemanfaatan IJEPA mencapai 67,7% sementara IPPTA hanya 18,8% (2016). Pemanfaatan impor IJEPA dan IPPTA relatif stagnan, jumlah perusahaan yang menggunakan SKA IJEPA sudah pada level jenuh, sementara pengguna SKA IPPTA masih tumbuh 18,2% per tahun. Bentuk PTA lebih memberikan dampak positif bagi peningkatan ekspor Indonesia ke negara mitra dibandingkan FTA yang komprehensif. Kebijakan melakukan FTA dalam bentuk Economic Partnership perlu disertai dengan kerja sama yang menjamin peningkatan perdagangan yang seimbang antar negara anggota. AbstractThis study aims to address the utilization level of The Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA) and Indonesia-Pakistan Preferential Trade Agreement (IPPTA). The level of FTA utilization for exports was measured by the ratio of trade value recorded in the Certificate of Origin (CoO) to Indonesia’s export value to the related country. While the level of utilization of imports was defined by the ratio of the import value of eligible products to Indonesia's total imports from the related country. The study found IJEPA’s utilization during 2012-2016 tended to decrease. In 2016, the level of utilization was about 47.2%. While IPPTA utilization for exports to Pakistan experienced a significant increase since it was implemented in 2013 with a rate of export utilization was 72.0% in 2016. On the import side, the level of utilization under IJEPA reached 67.7% while IPPTA was only 18.8% at the same period. In terms of the imports utilization level of both IJEPA and IPPTA, it was relatively stagnant, while the number of companies utilize IJEPA’s CoO was saturated. In contrast, IPPTA’s CoO users still grew at 18.2% per year. This study concluded PTA provides more positive impact on increasing Indonesia's exports to related countries than comprehensive FTAs. Thus, establishing an FTA in the form of an Economic Partnership needs to be followed with the cooperation that guarantees trade balance within the parties.

Abstract The Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) includes comprehensive provisions that aims to foster economic growth. The provision on Tariff Elimination is expected to increase trade between the two countries. A modified Gravity Model was used in order to estimate the impact of Tariff Elimination to Exports of the Philippines to Japan using the weighted average of tariffs imposed by Japan to Philippine Exports. While a Two-Stage Least Squares (TSLS) was utilized to estimate its impact to Economic Development. Using quarterly data from 2001 to 2013, results shows that although the agreement is able to statistically increase exports of the Philippines to Japan, it may not be enough to induce significant Economic Growth to the Philippines.

This article argues that Indonesian economic diplomacy should consider Mexico and Chile as member of Pacific Alliance in Latin American region as the prospective markets for Indonesia in the future. As emerging economies, these two countries have positive economic projection, population growth and their demand for import products from other region. Based on economic diplomacy concept, Indonesian efforts to negotiate bilateral trade agreements (free trade agreement) or Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with Mexico and Chile will be part of longterm strategy to build these countries as two of Indonesian non traditional markets. Keywords : Economic Diplomacy, Pacific Alliance, Mexico, Chile Abstrak Artikel ini berargumen bahwa diplomasi ekonomi Indonesia perlu mempertimbangkan Meksiko dan Chile yang merupakan negara anggota Aliansi Pasifik di kawasan Amerika Latin sebagai pasar prospektif bagi Indonesia pada masa yang akan datang. Sebagai emerging economies, kedua negara ini memiliki proyeksi ekonomi yang positif, pertumbuhan penduduk dan kebutuhannya terhadap produk-produk impor dari kawasan lain. Berdasarkan konsep diplomasi ekonomi, upaya-upaya Indonesia untuk menegosiasikan perjanjian-perjanjian perdagangan bilateralnya (perjanjian perdagangan bebas) atau Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) dengan Meksiko dan Chile akan menjadi bagian dari starategi jangka panjang untuk mengembangkan kedua negara ini sebagai dua pasar non tradisional Indonesia. Kata Kunci : Diplomasi Ekonomi, Aliansi Pasifik, Meksiko, Chile

Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA CEPA) telah berlaku efektif 5 July 2020. Artikel ini menyorot tujuan dan substansi IA-CEPA, mengulas tantangan keberadaan model free trade agreement in casu IA-CEPA dan memberikan tawaran strategi bagi Indonesia dalam pelaksanaan IA-CEPA. Secara umum, tujuan IA-CEPA adalah untuk mendorong peningkatan hubungan dagang, investasi, kerja sama ekonomi, kelancaran arus masuk dan keluar barang, jasa dan orang, termasuk penurun tarif hingga ke 0% dan penghapusan hambatan non-tarif lainnya. Tetapi dari pihak Indonesia, terdapat sejumlah tantangan fundamental yang perlu diselesaikan agar dapat menerima manfaat maksimal. Salah satu tantangan besar yang dihadapi Indonesia saat ini ialah besarnya defisit neraca perdagangan Indonesia terhadap Australia. Untuk mengatasi isu ini, sejumlah strategi perlu dipertimbangkan antara lain implementasi konsep economic powerhouse, peningkatan skilled workers dan menghadirkan pendidikan vocational berkualitas tinggi.
