The WTO marks the 30th anniversary of the Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM) in 2019.
Established to ensure greater awareness of national trade policies, the TPRM is one of the main channels used by the WTO to promote accountability, predictability and transparency — the core values of the multilateral trading system.
Duayner Salas, Costa Rica’s Vice Minister for Foreign Trade, notes that trade policy reviews are useful for the government, the private sector and trading partners.
