Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership

Abstract After eight years of effort, the 15 Asian members involved in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) met in a virtual ceremony to sign the final document on Sunday, 15 November 2020. The final deal matches the original objective – to knit the region together and allow firms to build supply chains across the region to deliver goods, services, and investment to Asian markets more seamlessly. Getting this free trade agreement (FTA) to this point involved repeated missed deadlines, the loss of one important negotiating partner, and thousands of miles of travel for a rotating cast of officials, trade ministers, and leaders. RCEP began in late 2012 as an effort to unravel what has often been called the ‘spaghetti or noodle bowl’ of overlapping and inconsistent rules that can impede trade. While most of the countries in the region have extensive experience in trade and are outward oriented, trade in Asia has been bedeviled with challenges. This includes a range of both tariff and non-tariff obstacles that have made it more difficult than might be expected to trade, especially for final products, within the region.

Significance Talks will be held virtually because of restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. A key focus will be finalisation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a free trade agreement (FTA) involving the ten ASEAN members and five of the bloc’s dialogue partners. Impacts Discussion at the summits about non-traditional security issues such as climate change are unlikely to result in substantive outcomes. Countries deemed to be at low risk from COVID-19 may push for a common framework to reboot business and leisure travel. Formal launch of a COVID-19 ASEAN Response Fund, announced at June’s ASEAN summit, may spur greater regional cooperation over the pandemic.

Since the successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations in the early 1990s, regional trade agreements of various types, including bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs), have replaced internationally comprehensive agreements as the main driver for development of official trade relations. There is also a tendency for such agreements to extend beyond trade and cover security and other issues. Russia is a “resource-cursed” country like Australia, and there seems to be a prima facie case for China and Russia to conclude an FTA similar to the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA). However, Russia intends to promote free trade with China via the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) because it views any FTA in quite narrow political and security terms, and its economic agenda is orientated toward new industrial development rather than trade development. In comparison, China prefers an FTA within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) because it is, at the current stage, most interested in enhancing economic development and trade across the Central Asian and wider Eurasian regions. Russian resistance to the idea of an SCO-based FTA was one of the reasons for China’s initial development of the land part of the “One Belt, One Road (OBOR)” initiative. While China and Russia have recently agreed to work toward an FTA between China and the EAEU, it is not quite hopeful in the near future, and a ChAFTA-type FTA between China and Russia will be even more difficult to achieve mainly due to Russia’s lingering strategic considerations.

Given the growing importance of services in Indian economy as well as in international trade, India has offensive interests in services and these are becoming an important part of India’s effort to economically integrate with global economies including Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This article analyses India’s economic integration with the ASEAN region in services trade and discusses how India’s services trade interests are taken into consideration by ASEAN members in their free trade agreements with India. It also discusses services-related aspects in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement, a proposed free trade agreement among ASEAN and its six FTA partners including India, from which India has decided to opt-out recently.
