Citi issued the following statement on the Trans-Pacific
Partnership agreement reached today between the United States and
eleven international countries.
“Citi congratulates the twelve negotiating parties for reaching
an agreement in principle on a final text for the Trans-Pacific
Partnership (TPP) after five years of intense and complex
negotiations.
“The TPP will establish a free trade area in the Pacific Rim
that will set comprehensive and enforceable disciplines for trade
and investment among its members. These rules will serve to create
a more predictable business environment that will facilitate trade
and foreign direct investment between the most dynamic and
forward-looking economies in the world. This will mean more growth
and jobs for these economies. The agreement also is an important
expression of the respective governments’ confidence in the power
of competition, freedom of movement of capital, goods and
services.
“In the days ahead, Citi will examine in detail, the terms of
the agreement that now will be made public, and work with all
stakeholders as they move forward with the agreement’s approval and
implementation among all of the twelve governments.”
