Free Trade Agreements: US$ 33.6 Trillion
Free Trade Agreements: US$ 33.6 Trillion
Viet Nam has entered into or completed the negotiation of a number of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), including both
collective and bilateral FTAs (e.g. FTAs with the EU, Japan, Chile and Korea).
While the original TPP agreement has been put on hold, the revised agreement came into progressed as the CPTPP
(Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership). These developments reveal that Viet Nam
continues to be increasingly integrated into the global economy through numerous bilateral and collaborative FTAs.
Regarding the CPTPP, it maintains most of the terms of the TPP, allowing the remaining TPP11 (excluding the USA) to
continue implementation of the FTA. The CPTPP has been effective in Viet Nam since Jan 2019.
The ASEAN-Hong Kong FTA was signed in late 2017 and came into force in June 2019. The EU-Viet Nam FTA is the
next major milestone for Viet Nam from a trade perspective. This FTA is expected to liberalise 90% of trade flows over
a 10-15 year time frame. The FTA is expected to come into effect in 2020.
