AUCKLAND: Businesses in Malaysia, including small and medium scale enterprises, are looking forward to greater market access opportunities under the just-signed Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), said Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.  

The International and Industry Ministry said that the textile, electrical and electronics, palm oil and rubber industries were among sectors that were keen to exploit opportunities arising from an expanded market and lower tariffs under the new pact.
