Jakarta (ANTARA) – Deputy Trade Minister Dyah Roro Esti has urged Indonesian business players to make optimal use of trade agreements concluded with various strategic partner countries.“So that business actors can utilize the trade agreements we have completed, ensuring concrete action and tangible impact,” Esti said during an ANTARA podcast interview here on Wednesday.She emphasized that maximizing the use of trade agreements would not only expand market access to the global stage but also generate broad economic benefits domestically.“The multiplier effect is significant. If successful, Indonesian entrepreneurs will become more empowered and earn higher incomes. Higher incomes will certainly have a very positive impact on our domestic economy,” she explained.Esti noted that international trade agreements vary in scope. The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) represents the broadest scale of trade pact. One of them is Indonesia-European Union CEPA or IEU-CEPA, which aims to eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers to boost exports, investment, and economic cooperation between the two parties. “With a CEPA, we are talking about goods and services. So it covers products, services, and also other topics such as sustainability and various related issues,” she said.In addition, there are Preferential Trade Agreements (PTA), which focus on trade in goods or products, and Free Trade Agreements (FTA), which involve the reduction or elimination of trade barriers, both tariff and non-tariff.So the scales indeed vary. But in principle, regardless of the scale, we hope these agreements can strengthen our positioning and friendship with a region or a country bilaterally, so that trade can continue to take place sustainably,” she added.
