Maximizing the Benefits of the Trade Policy Review Mechanism for Developing Countries

چکیده
This paper is concerned with the Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM), an important policy review function of the WTO. From a developing country perspective, a truly effective TPRM should accomplish several interrelated goals which together should add up to a boost to investor confidence in developing country markets.

These include better organization and retention of the data already collected as part of the TPRM process, better dissemination of the information collected as part of the TPRM process, and technical assistance in the use of this information.
