The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Newstalk ZB - Tiistaisin
A lucrative free trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates could be signed into action today. Trade Minister Todd McClay is meeting with his Emirati counterpart as part of his three-day visit to Wellington. Negotiations for the FTA began in May, meaning it would be less than 100 days to get it over the line. Former trade negotiator Charles Finny told Mike Hosking there's huge potential for growth. He says we're looking at 5% tariffs on some dairy products and frozen meats, and taking that off would be really, really useful. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
