Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Countries 2022

It was in 2015 that the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, was written. The next year, the agreement was inked. However, since it was never approved, it was never implemented. Tariff and non-tariff trade obstacles were to be reduced under the TPP.

An investor-state dispute resolution was also to be established as part of the TPP. Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam were the initial signatories to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

TPP ratification by Japan and New Zealand was the sole action taken by these countries. In January 2017, the United States withdrew its signature from the agreement.

After a year, the other 11 signers of the pact opted to change it. The original TPP signatories, except the United States, signed it in March 2018.

As a result, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership was renamed. This agreement has not been confirmed by half of its eleven members, hence it is not in effect.

The CPTPP, if approved, will be one of the world’s biggest trade accords. The trade agreement has been approved by three nations as of July 2018.
