Building on positive momentum out of the IPEF Ministerial in Los Angeles, ALI convened a distinguished group of experts to exchange views on how to ensure the success of IPEF. Many agreed on the importance of setting high standards for the framework, including digital, supply chain, and labor, among other areas, and on the many potential benefits of IPEF for small businesses. Guests acknowledged the role of Congress in achieving a meaningful framework, as well as the difficulty of working without traditional market access provisions. Finally, many supported pushing toward early IPEF wins in time for APEC 2023, the U.S. host year.
