 Free Trade Agreements increase the benefits to Australia from trade and investment relationships with other countries. Free Trade Agreements contribute to economic activity and job creation in Australia. These agreements deliver goods and services export opportunities by reducing and eliminating tariff and non-tariff barriers. They also improve transparency and certainty for Australian businesses in overseas markets. Free Trade Agreements also provide Australian consumers and businesses with a greater range of goods, services, ideas and technology at more competitive prices. Did you know over two thirds of Australia's total trade with the rest of the world is with our Free Trade Agreement partners? Free Trade Agreements will become increasingly important and deliver more benefits in the future. This is because the government is actively negotiating and implementing new agreements as well as reviewing and upgrading existing Free Trade Agreements to ensure they continue to deliver benefits to Australia. Australia's Free Trade Agreements are not just for big businesses or traditional exporters. These Free Trade Agreements are also helping Australian small to medium-sized enterprises become exporters and helping businesses export new and different products to overseas markets.
