New survey to assess impact of UAE-India CEPA

The UAE has launched a survey to assess the impact of its Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with India, which came into effect a year ago.

It aims to gather feedback and insights from private sector individuals such as exporters, industrialists, investors, and entrepreneurs who have been directly or indirectly impacted by the CEPA.

The study led by the Ministry of Economy consists of six sections that cover a broad range of potential impact areas, such as changes in trade volumes, investment flows, new partnerships and employment opportunities, tariff rates and trade barriers, supply-chain efficiencies, and innovation and competition.

The survey can be accessed online until June 15, 2023.

The UAE-India CEPA was signed on February 18, 2022, and took effect on May 1, 2022.

It was developed to improve bilateral trade and investment between the two countries, and covers a wide range of sectors, including trade in goods and services, intellectual property, investment, and dispute resolution, among others.
