Submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties Inquiry into the Korea–Australia Free Trade Agreement

This submission highlights why the Korea–Australia Free Trade Agreement (KAFTA) is unambiguously good news for the Australian economy.

KAFTA is a high-quality, comprehensive agreement that substantially liberalises trade with our fourth largest trading partner.

The BCA strongly supports an early entry into force for the agreement. The sooner it enters into force, the sooner the Australian economy will start benefiting from increased trade and investment flows resulting from the agreement.
