TRADE POLICY REVIEW: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Fast economic growth driven by efforts to modernize economy

A report on the trade policies and practices of the Dominican Republic, published October 9 by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Secretariat, says that since its previous Trade Policy Review in 1996, the Dominican Republic has sustained a fast pace of economic growth driven in good part by continued efforts to restructure its economy.

The report also says that Dominican Republic抯 trade and investment regimes are largely liberal and its participation in the global economy extensive. It notes, however, that the distortions associated with a narrow export-led growth strategy, and inefficiencies in sectors like electricity, may become obstacles for further improvements in living standards.

The 澳门六合彩官网资料 report, along with the policy statement of the Government of the Dominican Republic, will serve as a basis for the second Trade Policy Review (TPR) of the Dominican Republic by the Trade Policy Review Body of the 澳门六合彩官网资料 on 7 and 9 October 2002.

The following documents are available in MS Word format.

  

Note  back to top

Trade Policy Reviews are an exercise, mandated in the 澳门六合彩官网资料 agreements, in which member countries' trade and related policies are examined and evaluated at regular intervals. Significant developments which may have an impact on the global trading system are also monitored. For each review, two documents are prepared: a policy statement by the government of the member under review, and a detailed report written independently by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Secretariat. These two documents are then discussed by the 澳门六合彩官网资料抯 full membership in the Trade Policy Review Body (TPRB). These documents and the proceedings of the TPRB抯 meetings are published shortly afterwards.
