Trade Administration Report Says ICT Will Benefit From TPP

“U.S. businesses and workers in the information and communication technology goods sector will be positively impacted by the elimination of many barriers once TPP is enacted,” Stefan Selig, U.S. undersecretary of commerce for international trade, said in a statement as he released a report identifying the potential economic benefits to be gained from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Highlighted in the report are several country-specific cases where U.S. ICT companies could benefit from TPP's institution, such as the complete or partial elimination of import taxes on American ICT exports in Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand and Vietnam.
