RCEP
RCEP sits in the MegaDeals phase of GovOS — AJG's synthesis of the global rule-making infrastructure. RCEP (signed 2020, in force 2022) is the world's largest FTA by GDP. 15 members: ASEAN-10 + China + Japan + S. Korea + Australia + NZ. Tariff elimination on 90%+ goods over 20 yr. Single Rules of Origin. Excludes India (withdrew over China-import concerns). Reach: ~30% of world GDP, ~30% of population. Cadence: 20-year tariff phase-down. Multilateral coverage: 197 countries × 273 FTAs × 28 blocs.

Does RCEP apply across all 197 countries?
GovOS is multilateral by construction. Some categories are universal (WTO, WCO); others are jurisdiction-specific (DGFT for India, USTR for US). Country-specific applications are surfaced via /os/govos/country/{country}/.
How does this relate to AJG's broader trade-intelligence platform?
GovOS is the rule-making layer atop AJG's data substrate. It complements TradeOS (operations) and DealOS (deal structures). Cross-OS triads — DealOS × TradeOS × GovOS — surface the strategic + operational + regulatory views together.
