The cost-benefit analyses of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), which has been completed, is expected to be released in Parliament this week, says International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

He said the analyses on the 21st Century regional trade pact by international auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers and premier think tank, Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS), are currently being printed.

"They highlighted the good and the bad, the two sides of the TPPA coin. Hence, it's up to the rakyat to make their decision.

"What I know is that they studied the benefits that we can get including the challenges that we will face when we are a part of the TPP," he told reporters after attending the TPPA dialogue here, today.

The TPPA is a free trade agreement negotiated between 12 countries, namely Australia, the United States, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Brunei, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam and Malaysia.
