According to ChemAnalyst, India’s decision for opting out from RCEP is a repercussion of its escalating tensions with China. India feared rising imports and an uncomfortable exposure to Chinese products if it were a part of the agreement, which could have interfered with the various measures it is taking to reduce its exposure to China. However, this is likely to affect its bilateral ties with RCEP nations in longer terms.

The silver lining could be the gradual reduction of import tariffs for PE and PP stocksfrom northeast Asia-origin to southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia,the Philippines and Indonesia from 5-10% to not more than 5% over the next 10-20years. Import tariffs for polymers from all origins to Australia will also be curtailedfrom 5% to zero in the coming 20 years. Lower freight rates and shorter transit timeswould also attract buyers in RCEP nations. The FTA was signed by China, Japan,South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and the 10 members of Asean. According todata from the International Monetary Fund, RCEP nations hold nearly a third sharein the global economy and their combined gross domestic product stands at aroundUSD 26 trillion. RCEP was initially being negotiated between 16 countries- ASEANmembers and Australia, China, Korea, Japan, New Zealand and India. However, onNovember 4, 2019, India backed out from the discussions over “significantoutstanding issues”.
