The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): Analysis of Economic Studies
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): Analysis of Economic Studies James K. Jackson Specialist in International Trade and Finance June 30, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44551 The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): Analysis of Economic Studies Summary Congress plays a major role in formulating and implementing U.S. trade policy through its legislative and oversight responsibilities. Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the authority to regulate foreign commerce, while the President has the authority to conduct foreign relations. In 2015, Congress reauthorized Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that( 1) sets trade policy objectives for the President to negotiate in trade agreements; (2) requires the President to engage with and keep Congress informed of negotiations; and (3) provides for Congressional consideration of legislation to implement trade agreements on an expedited basis, based on certain criteria. The United States is considering the recently-concluded Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) among the United States and 11 other countries. The 12 TPP countries signed the agreement in February 2016, but the agreement must be ratified by each country before it can enter into force. In the United States this requires implementing legislation by Congress. The agreement is viewed by the participants as a “comprehensive and high standard” mega- regional free trade agreement that may hold the promise of greater economic opportunities and closer economic and strategic ties among the negotiating parties. For Members of Congress and others, international trade and trade agreements may offer the prospect of improved national economic welfare. Such agreements, however, have mixed effects on U.S. domestic and foreign interests, both economic and political.

Saint Lucia to the United Nations
PERMANENT MISSION OF SAINT LUCIA TO THE UNITED NATIONS STATEMENT BY THE HONOURABLE ALLEN M. CHASTANET PRIME MINISTER OF SAINT LUCIA AND MINISTER FOR FINANCE, ECONOMIC GROWTH, JOB CREATION EXTERNAL AFFAIRS AND THE PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE MEETING OF THE HEADS OF STATE AND GOVERNMENT ON FINANCING THE 2030 AGENDA IN THE ERA OF COVID-19 AND BEYOND NEW YORK TUESDAY 29th SEPTEMBER, 2020 1 I wish to commend my colleague Prime Ministers of Canada and Jamaica and the United Nations Secretary General for bringing together Heads of State and Government, International organisations, and other key stakeholders to discuss and consider concrete financing solutions to the COVID19 crisis. While I applaud the work done over the summer months to deliver the menu of options before us, which offers a wide and varied selection that would allow member states to choose options that best suit their national circumstances. It is my considered view that the menu does not effectively address the systemic inequities that have long plagued and prevented small Island developing states like Saint Lucia from achieving meaningful sustainable development. When we gathered in the Spring I called for a holistic approach that would address SIDS challenges with SIDS solutions, focused on our systematic constraints. I highlighted that it is an imperative that a dynamic approach be taken to treat with the recognised vulnerabilities of SIDS as an issue that cuts across the international financing architecture. This approach must deviate from the income only measure of need and the utilisation of a multidimensional vulnerability index. This holistic approach, a compact for the SIDS, would aid in designing innovative response mechanisms and enhance existing financial instruments to guide SIDS economies through this period of crisis and create a responsive system where gains can be maintained, resilience to climate change can be reinforced, and development achieved.
