Chairman Nunes asks, TTIP? We answer – will likely create problems for emerging markets’ exports!

In response to Chairman Nunes’ solicitation, Sandler Trade LLC submitted a statement to the House Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee on TTIP. The statement can be seen here. Our statement drew on our analysis of the opportunities and potential adverse impacts created by TTIP for exports of emerging economies. We found that the TTIP may create serious adverse impacts on exports from emerging economies due to trade displacement. Emerging economies’ interests are also not on the TTIP agenda, despite the U.S. and EU decade-old WTO commitment to address such concerns. Our submission to the Trade Subcommittee is a ten-page version of our full study. That complete analysis of TTIP’s impact on emerging economies can be found here.
