Liberalisation, Privatisation And Globalisation : An Appraisal

Question

What are the expectations from WTO in world trade?

Answer

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) was founded in 1995 as the successor organisation to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. WTO is expected to establish a rule based trading regime in which member countries cannot place arbitrary restrictions on trade. The purpose was to enlarge production and trade of services to ensure optimum utilisation of world resources and to protect environment. The WTO agreement covers trade in goods and services both through removal of tariff as well as non-tariff barriers and providing greater market access to all member countries.
