Canada–Indonesia CEPA Full Text Released

The release of the full text of the Canada–Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) marks a pivotal step forward in strengthening economic ties between Canada and one of ASEAN’s largest and fastest-growing economies. As a modern, comprehensive trade agreement, CEPA lays the foundation for deeper commercial engagement by enhancing market access, improving regulatory transparency, and establishing a predictable legal environment for businesses in both countries. The Agreement underscores shared commitments to uphold international trade rules, advance science-based decision-making, and ensure the protection of human, animal, and plant life or health-principles that support sustainable and resilient economic growth.

CEPA’s publication allows businesses, policymakers, and stakeholders to examine the full scope of commitments across goods, services, investment, digital trade, and sustainable development. For Canadian companies seeking to expand in Southeast Asia, and for Indonesian enterprises exploring opportunities in North America, this Agreement provides a clearer roadmap and new opportunities for long-term partnership.
