<div><p><em>Since mid 1990s, India is actively engaging in bilateral and regional negotiations with various countries and blocs to boost trade and level of integration. It has signed numerous agreements and become member.  In South Asia region, India has close and trouble free relations only with landlocked kingdom i.e. Bhutan since 1949 under Treaty of Peace and Friendship. This treaty helped to enhance their integration i.e. free trade agreement (FTA) in goods signed between them in 2006. It is in this context, the present study applies revealed comparative advantage (RCA) and trade intensity index (TII) to explore India’s trade potential and prospects with Bhutan that will tell us either India has trade possibility with Bhutan or not. The major findings of the study showed that India has become the largest trading partner of Bhutan. India has strong and sustainable trade potential with Bhutan. Even India has no specialisation in the export of any product to Bhutan but still exports continued to increase at walking rate. Overall, India has strong trade prospects with Bhutan.</em></p></div>

Indonesia has involved in quite many regional trade agreements, since more than a decade ago. Theoritically, Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are very beneficial to the countries, as resources are more efficiently allocated due to production specialization. However, presence of asymmetric information, market inefficiency, and economic distortion in the real world have led to a deviation of FTAs benefits from its theoritical framework. This paper studies whether Indonesian export competitiveness is improving after Indonesia involves in ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) and ASEAN-Cina Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA). Export competitiveness are measured by some trade indicators, such as: trade intensity index, market share, export product dynamics, and RCA, for some Indonesian main export products. The indices are compared across ASEAN countries and Cina to reveal: (i) which products are gaining or losingcompetitiveness in ASEAN and Cina markets; and (ii) which countries are  becoming Indonesian main competitors in ASEAN and Cina markets. Additionally, this paper ends up with some policy recommendations that Indonesia should undertake to improve competitiveness of its products in ASEAN and Cina markets.JEL Classification: R11, F16Keywords: FTA, export competitiveness, Indonesia

The paper examines the development of China's economic ties with Southeast Asia over the last two decades, culminating in the inauguration of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA) in 2010. Particular reference is made to China's trade ties with Indonesia. Although two-way trade between China and Indonesia has grown rapidly since 2000, Indonesian exports to China are dominated by primary products, while imports from China are dominated by manufactures. While this pattern might reflect short-term comparative advantage in both economies, it is causing some concern in Indonesia. The paper assesses these concerns, and possible political reactions.

Tariff Liberalization

Mercosur-Egypt Free Trade Agreement was ratified in May 2017. This article examines potential gains for the agreement parties, through analysis of preferential margins, trade complementarity, and revealed comparative advantage indexes. Trade complementarity indexes show potential for higher trade between Egypt and Mercosur countries. Small preferential margins are expected to be gained for currently traded products which are subject to immediate tariff liberalization. Revealed comparative advantage analysis highlights several sectors which have the potential to benefit from the agreement.

Early Harvest

Indonesia dan Malaysia bersama dengan negara ASEAN lainnya telah melakukan liberalisasi perdagangan melalui perjanjian ASEAN China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA). Liberalisasi tersebut dimulai dengan pelaksanaan Early Harvest Program (EHP) pada tahun 2005. Dengan menggunakan analisis daya saing Revealed Symetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), Indeks Spesialisasi Perdagangan (ISP), dan analisis regresi berganda diketahui bahwa daya saing biji kakao Indonesia di pasar China terhadap Malaysia ternyata tidak meningkat sejak pelaksanaan ACFTA. Daya saing ekspor biji kakao Indonesia di pasar China telah memasuki tahap kematangan. Malaysia telah menghentikan ekspor biji kakao ke China dan menggeser ke produk setengah jadi. Indonesia tidak meraih keuntungan dalam perdagangan bebas ACFTA hanya dengan mengekspor produk primer seperti biji kakao ke China. Oleh karena itu, Indonesia harus mengekspor produk kakao seperti kakao bubuk, kakao pasta dan lemak kakao untuk memperoleh nilai tambah dan memperbaiki daya saing kakao di pasar China maupun internasional.
