Background

Trade Policy Reviews are a WTO transparency exercise in which members’ trade and related policies and practices are examined at regular intervals. They allow WTO members to ask questions, exchange views, and comment on each other’s policies in collective discussions held in the WTO’s Trade Policy Review Body.

All WTO members are subject to review. The frequency of each review depends on the member’s share of world trade, with the largest traders being reviewed more frequently.
