Deeply disappointed by new US tariffs on NZ exports. This move hurts our exporters + undermines the global trade system. NZIBF will engage closely with govt as we respond. #trade#nzexports#NZIBF

Good news for 🇳🇿exporters! The dairy dispute with Canada under CPTPP is resolved — a win for trade rules and smaller countries. Big thanks to Hon @toddmcclaymp, his predecessor & MFAT. New market access = meaningful gains for our dairy sector. https://t.co/1k1qBy1k7X
Pesky non-tariff barriers impose major costs on New Zealand's most competitive export sectors, including in digital! See here our submission on the idea of open plurilateral on NTBs. Good luck @MFATNZ https://t.co/fah6MjEOM5
Our ED @StephenJacobi provided a global trade and economy update to the 56th Update for Accountants in Business. Read what he had to say here (health warning – the news is not all good !)

Thanks to @BrightstarNZ for the opportunity (once again!) to address today’s One Stop update for the Accountant in Business. Spoiler alert: it’s not good out there! Remarks will be posted later on @TradeWorksNZ
We welcome this progress, especially the dialogues with #EU and #ASEAN and urge #CPTPP members to pick up the pace with accessions to ensure the Agreement remains at the cutting edge of trade liberalisation at a difficult time.
CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Ministers and representatives met today for talks on further boosting trade between members. Australia is proud to be CPTPP Chair in 2025 and leading this work program. #DFAT#FTAs#CPTPP ➡️https://t.co/bjoILrs9Q2
Pleased to see this work underway - all strength to these hard-working officials! A comprehensive, high quality agreement will be of value to both sides and an important signal to the rest of the world. @TradeWorksNZ
Interesting perspective below. Hard choices to be made when it comes to securing key interests. Would we do differently? But the bigger picture is a further weakening of the global trade system. UK can balance this by supporting deepening and expanding #CPTPP@TradeWorksNZ
Our ED @StephenJacobi recently addressed the Local Government NZ Rural and Provincial Forum on the impact of US tariffs on local government. Read his remarks here:

NZIBF welcomes the entry into force of the Upgraded ASEAN-Australia-NZ FTA and congratulates the governments and officials concerned. This is a strong signal of commitment to free and open trade at a critical moment. https://t.co/WJRGiI0zHn
NZIBF's submission on the India/NZ FTA strongly supports the initiative, announced by PMs Modi and Luxon in March. Looking forward to an agreement that is "balanced, ambitious, comprehensive and mutually beneficial"! https://t.co/sh0SHJf0M9
