The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (2016)

 The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) was signed by the member states of the European Union and Canada in 2016. This trade deal was not to easy to pass and sign as all the 28 European members had to approve it. They discussed the deal until 2014, and finally it was signed two years later.

Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (2018)

It is the third biggest free-trade area across the globe, after the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the European Single Market. The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership was signed by 11 countries, Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Chile, Mexico, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Vietnam and Peru. Since 2018, when it was signed, several other countries have shown interest in joining the area, such as the US, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, Taiwan, and South Korea. This free-trade market means 500 million people, and if the countries mentioned above join, it will be even bigger.
