Financial Times citing unnamed sources

I thought this new was already out there but it seems to be attracting some attention

For example, in the Nikkei overnight: 11 nations agree in principle on TPP Pacific trade deal
Leaders look to officially rubber stamp deal on Friday

  • "The 11 nations were able to reach a ministerial agreement," Japanese Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told reporters after talks ended late Thursday on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting. "We have been able to agree on a deal that has high standards and is balanced. Creating a new, free and fair [trade] rule in a region experiencing high growth like the Asia-Pacific is very significant."

Regardless, freer trade = good news

So

  1. Who are the TPP11? ... and
  2. Do they have a cricket team?

1. They are:

  • Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam.

2. I hope so!
