Last week conclusions were reached on free trade agreements between the ASEAN countries (see map) and Australia and New Zealand. The final agreement is expected to be signed in December 2008. Considering that the ASEAN bloc represents total trade of more than NZ$2 trillion and was NZ's third-largest export market, the media have not really picked up on the deal comapred with the China - New Zealand FTA.
