BusinessNZ Chief Executive Kirk Hope has welcomed New Zealand’s ratification of the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Ratifying TPP recognises the importance of exports to all New Zealanders, Mr Hope said.
"Even without the US, the TPP is still good for New Zealand.
"That’s because trade is always good for business and workers. Better access to more markets in the TPP means more jobs in towns and cities across New Zealand.
"We’re an exporting nation, making a livelihood from the goods and services we produce for export.
"Producing our best and working within an open trade system is great for the exporting regions of New Zealand. We want to see towns and cities humming with activity and enterprise, benefiting from the trade enabled by the TPP.
"Ratifying the TPP is a confidence boost for business and workers in New Zealand."
