RCEP – Implications for Services & Investment in Thailand

published on 26 May 2021

The RCEP has been signed in late 2020 by 15 countries from the Asia-Pacific region, and will become the world's largest trading bloc when taking effect, covering close to 30 percent of the global trade and approx. 30 percent of the world population. And for the first time, China and Japan will both join in an FTA. As for Thailand, the domestic ratification procedures have just recently been completed in February 2021.

As particularly those RCEP chapters concerning trade in goods have already received a great deal of media attention, our webinar focuses on the equally important chapters on trade in services and respective investment regulations, analyzing Thailand's commitments as well as their particular relevance for European investors.
