Malaysia, Taiwan, CPTPP: Economic Impact Assessment

Malaysia has signed the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) but at the time of writing, the Malaysian Government has made no final decision on whether to ratify and implement the agreement. Taiwan is not currently
a member of CPTPP but has formally expressed its interest to join. In the event that both Malaysia and Taiwan become full members of CPTPP, then trade barriers between the two countries will fall. In this report, we consider the impact this would
have on the Malaysian economy in terms of trade, investment and industrial collaboration.
