Thanks to @BrightstarNZ 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 @TradeWorksNZ

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. @TradeWorksNZ
India and New Zealand commenced the first round of in-person negotiations for a comprehensive and mutually beneficial Free Trade Agreement (FTA) today in New Delhi. This follows the formal launch of the FTA process on 16th March, followed by a series of virtual meetings that laid the groundwork. The negotiations mark a significant step toward strengthening bilateral trade and deepening economic ties between the two nations. #DoC_GoI #FTA @IndiainNZ

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 @TradeWorksNZ
The alternate views on the US trade deal are either - the UK lost because US tariffs are higher than January, or the UK did fine but gave up on the principles behind free trade. I don't agree on either count but they are debates worth having.

Good to see #ABAC keeping the flame of freer trade alive with NZ in the chair and @StephHoneyTrade holding the pen! @TradeWorksNZ
ABAC New Zealand’s Anna Curzon, Chair of the Regional Economic Integration Working Group (REIWG), presides over their meeting to tackle critical issues including navigating the rise of protectionism, strengthening supply chains, enabling seamless digital trade and inclusive integration by narrowing the gender pay gap.

Trade continues tariff-free with China @TradeWorksNZ
Zespri's 1st chartered shipload of fresh 2025 season NZ kiwifruit has landed in China, a $1bn market with sales up 40% in 2024. And I got to meet the famous Zespri kiwifruit brothers at their season launch in Shanghai 🥝🥝🥝

Just reprising this with thanks to @toddmullerBoP for the opportunity. W we still face tariffs in the US, the trade war has intensified, the PM is consulting with our trading partners: welcome to trade in 2025! @TradeWorksNZ
Replying to @StephenJacobi
@StephenJacobi spent some time chatting to us about Liberation Day. Great insights and he even conjured up some optimism. Well worth a listen. podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcas…

The EO refers to “additional ad valorem” duty - could well add to the pain for NZ exporters. @TradeWorksNZ
Exec Order clear that 10% for NZ is *additional to* existing US tariffs.

Calm and measured response to US tariffs from Trade Minister @toddmcclaymp just now. Underlines tariffs are bad for trade, says he will seek more info and correct the record about NZ tariffs on US exports. Wisely rules out retaliation. Will consult with exporters. @TradeWorksNZ

US tariffs - 10% for NZ - unjustified, painful but at a lower level of pain than expected (some comfort!). We fare better than some competitors eg EU. But what about our WTO bound tariffs on beef and cheese? @TradeWorksNZ

Insightful commentary @TradeWorksNZ
#Trump has promised to unleash the largest sweep of his #tradepolicy agenda next week. April 2, which the president is now calling "#LiberationDay," will mark a turning point in the history of US economic integration with the world, Deborah Elms writes: buff.ly/dGxFK6r
