Question 1 of 5
1 points
Consider the following statements regarding the recently lunched Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF).
- IPEF is a new economic initiative led by United States.
- The grouping includes all the members of Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN).
- IPEF is a free trade agreement, where countries have agreed to reduce tariffs and increase market access.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: b)
India signalled its readiness to join a new economic initiative (Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF)) led by the United States for the region.
The grouping, which includes seven out of 10 members of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), all four Quad countries, and New Zealand, represents about 40% of global GDP.
The IPEF would not be a “free trade agreement”, nor are countries expected to discuss reducing tariffs or increasing market access. In that sense, the IPEF would not seek to replace the 11-nation CPTPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) that the U.S. quit in 2017, or the RCEP, which China, and all of the other IPEF countries (minus the U.S.) are a part of. Three ASEAN countries considered closer to China — Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos — are not members of the IPEF.
