孟加拉国对TPP没有特别大的兴趣

 

TPP of no particular interest to Bangladesh

Bangladesh is neither in a position to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) bloc nor does it need to do so, the Bangladesh Tariff Commission (BTC) has said.

The BTC which is the statutory organisation of the government working for protection of interests of local industries came to the conclusion after studying different aspects of the TPP deal, a Bangladeshi newspaper has reported.

The BTC's report has been submitted to the commerce ministry.

It also said the country's ready-made garment (RMG) export will face a competition from TPP member Vietnam.

TPP member-countries have a vast scope to derive their mutual economic benefits through duty relief.

Senior secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Hedayetullah Al Mamoon said Bangladesh's exports get tariff-free access to markets in most of the TPP member-countries except the US under the least developed country (LDC) status.

So, Bangladesh would not gain any significant benefits by joining the TPP bloc.

Among the TPP members, countries like Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore and New Zealand grant Bangladeshi products tariff-free market access.

Consequently, Bangladesh will face a fall in revenue earnings from import duty as TPP member countries like Singapore and Japan are two major sources of its imports.

孟加拉国对TPP没有特别大的兴趣

孟加拉国不能够加入跨太平洋伙伴关系(TPP)集团，而且它也不需要这样做,孟加拉国关税税则委员会(BTC)说。

政府为保护本地产业利益的法定组织——BTC在在研究跨太平洋伙伴关系协议的不同方面后得出结论,孟加拉国报纸报道。

BTC的报告已经提交给商务部。

同时他说，该国成衣服装出口将面临TPP成员国——越南的挑战。

TPP成员国有一个巨大的范围通过减免关税来获得他们的共同经济利益。

商务部高级秘书Hedayetullah Al Mamoon说，通过最不发达国家的地位，孟加拉出口商品可以免税进入大部分TPP成员国，除了美国。

因此，孟加拉国加入TPP集团将不会获得任何重要的利益。

TPP成员国如澳大利亚、加拿大、日本、新加坡等国和新西兰同意孟加拉产品免关税进入其市场。

因此,孟加拉国将面临收入下降，因为TPP成员国如新加坡和日本是两个主要的进口来源。
