  • CECA Implementation: a First Look
    ISAS Working Paper No. 9 – Date: 7 February 2006 (All rights reserved) Institute of South Asian Studies Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library Building 1 Hon Sui Sen Drive (117588) Tel: 68746179 Fax: 67767505 Email: [email protected] Wesbite: www.isas.nus.edu.sg CECA Implementation: A First Look Alka Chadha• Introduction The Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) was signed between India and Singapore on 29 June 2005 to promote trade and investments between the two countries. For the first time, India has signed an all-encompassing economic pact with any country so as to benefit from gains through trade and investment flows in areas of mutual interest. This is also the first time that India has notified a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) under Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). While, the Agreements relating to goods and services are in accordance with the provisions under the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Agreement on financial services goes beyond the WTO commitments for both India and Singapore. The idea for a comprehensive economic agreement between India and Singapore developed from discussions between the then Prime Minister of India Atal Behari Vajpayee and the then Prime Minister of Singapore Goh Chok Tong in August 2002. A joint study group was set up to draft the working of the CECA and it submitted a report in April 2003 that recommended an integrated package of agreements between India and Singapore including free trade in goods and services and investments. The CECA is a classic example of proving that the disparity in size does not matter when it comes to economic cooperation.

Pilots were told to lower the nose of their aircraft, maximize power, and not attempt to maintain assigned altitudes. (See August 22, 1996; January 15, 1997.) January 6, 1997: Illinois Governor Jim Edgar and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley announced a compromise under which the city would reopen Meigs Field and operate the airport for five years. After that, Chicago would be free to close the airport. (See September 30, 1996.) January 6, 1997: FAA announced the appointment of William Albee as aircraft noise ombudsman, a new position mandated by the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-264). (See September 30, 1996; October 28, 1998.) January 7, 1997: Dredging resumed in the search for clues in the TWA Flight 800 crash. The operation had been suspended in mid-December 1996.

Turkey signed 19 Stand-By Arrangements with the IMF when faced with liquidity problems. Several studies have already provided detailed information about the history and evolution of the relationship between the IMF and Turkey. However, we have not come across studies about the reform efforts carried out by the IMF since 2006 and their effects on Turkey. The IMF reforms completed during the 2006-2016 period positively affected Turkey's voting power, the amount of potential financing it could use, and its representation at the Executive Board. Yet, the conditionality principle, which applies to all countries, remains valid for Turkey as Keywords well. Therefore, it would benefit Turkey to explore alternative ways in which it can IMF, Global obtain potential financing on more flexible terms than the IMF.
