Chris Hipkins: Labour leader on the party confirming it plans to support the India FTA

from The SME Stream · host iHeartRadio NZ

Labour's leader is doubling down on his concern about the India-New Zealand free trade agreement's $33 billion Kiwi investment target.  The party's finally agreed to support the FTA, but is warning businesses to proceed at their own risk.  Chris Hipkins says the multi-billion-dollar target is unrealistic.  He says down the line, it could affect businesses that redirect exports to India.  "You've redirected product where you've developed a market - you could find that the constraints that have stopped you doing that until now are suddenly reimposed."   LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
