PM’s approach to other world leaders on tariffs and makes sense to me as I outline below ⁦Trade Works⁩ thepost.co.nz/politics/36065…

Trade continues tariff-free with China Trade Works

NZIBF's submission on the India/NZ FTA strongly supports the initiative, announced by PMs Modi and Luxon in March. Looking forward to an agreement that is "balanced, ambitious, comprehensive and mutually beneficial"! tradeworks.org.nz/submission-to-…

NZIBF welcomes the entry into force of the Upgraded ASEAN-Australia-NZ FTA and congratulates the governments and officials concerned. This is a strong signal of commitment to free and open trade at a critical moment. beehive.govt.nz/release/upgrad…

Good to see #ABAC keeping the flame of freer trade alive with NZ in the chair and Stephanie Honey holding the pen! Trade Works

Great to talk yesterday with Jamie Mackay - The Country - Omny.fm on US tariffs ⁦Trade Works⁩ omny.fm/shows/the-coun…

Pleased to chair this new Domestic Advisory Group on trade mfat.govt.nz/en/media-and-r… Trade Works

Thoughts from me here on NZ/India and NZ/CPTPP newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/06/dai… Trade Works

New Domestic Advisory Group on NZ/EU NZ/UK FTAs to advise on implementation would be a better headline! newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/07/new… Trade Works

Interesting perspective below. Hard choices to be made when it comes to securing key interests. Would we do differently? But the bigger picture is a further weakening of the global trade system. UK can balance this by supporting deepening and expanding #CPTPP Trade Works

Pleased to see this work underway - all strength to these hard-working officials! A comprehensive, high quality agreement will be of value to both sides and an important signal to the rest of the world. Trade Works

Our ED Stephen Jacobi recently addressed the Local Government NZ Rural and Provincial Forum on the impact of US tariffs on local government. Read his remarks here: tradeworks.org.nz/remarks-to-loc…

We welcome this progress, especially the dialogues with #EU and #ASEAN and urge #CPTPP members to pick up the pace with accessions to ensure the Agreement remains at the cutting edge of trade liberalisation at a difficult time.

Thanks to Brightstar for the opportunity (once again!) to address today’s One Stop update for the Accountant in Business. Spoiler alert: it’s not good out there! Remarks will be posted later on Trade Works

Our ED Stephen Jacobi provided a global trade and economy update to the 56th Update for Accountants in Business.  Read what he had to say here (health warning – the news is not all good !) tradeworks.org.nz/address-to-the…

Our long-serving ED Stephen Jacobi is to retire from the role on 30 June. We are sad to see him go! tradeworks.org.nz/executive-lead…

Pesky non-tariff barriers impose major costs on New Zealand's most competitive export sectors, including in digital! See here our submission on the idea of open plurilateral on NTBs. Good luck New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade tradeworks.org.nz/submission-to-…

Good news for 🇳🇿exporters! The dairy dispute with Canada under CPTPP is resolved — a win for trade rules and smaller countries. Big thanks to Hon Todd McClay, his predecessor & MFAT. New market access = meaningful gains for our dairy sector. tradeworks.org.nz/new-zealand-in…

Deeply disappointed by new US tariffs on NZ exports. This move hurts our exporters + undermines the global trade system. NZIBF will engage closely with govt as we respond. #trade #nzexports #NZIBF tradeworks.org.nz/nzibf-deeply-d…
