NZIBF and ExportNZ welcome and support the conclusion of a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The CEPA provides a platform to expand New Zealand’s currently modest economic relationship with the UAE. It has also provided a springboard to the wider goal of achieving a comprehensive FTA with the members of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC).
