The World Trade Organization (WTO) is set to conduct a Trade Policy Review for the Maldives. This review involves an examination and evaluation of the country's trade and related policies. The WTO Secretariat has prepared a detailed report independently, which will be discussed by the WTO's full membership in the Trade Policy Review Body (TPRB).
The government of the Maldives has also provided a policy statement as part of this review process. These reports aim to monitor significant developments that could impact the global trading system. According to WTO agreements, all member countries undergo such reviews at regular intervals, with the frequency depending on each country's size.
The chairperson's concluding remarks from the meeting will be available on the day of the second meeting.
