US-Malaysia Agreement on Reciprocal Trade needs clearer policy definitions, says Insap


By Comment

THE Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research (Insap) held a series of engagements on Friday (Nov 7) to examine the implications of the recently signed US–Malaysia Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART).

In the morning, Insap convened a closed-door roundtable involving over 40 representatives from government-linked agencies, private-sector leaders, economists, think tanks and policy researchers. The discussion was held under Chatham House rules and the key points raised were subsequently conveyed to the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) during an afternoon briefing session on the same day with the Minister, Datuk Seri Utama Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.
