Trade Policy
of Grenada - Selected Documents |
|
This section centralises information
relating to Grenada's national trade policy. Government trade policy overviews, national development
strategy papers as well as
information on agreements, regulations, standards, and the investment
climate are also presented in this section.
Grenada's trade policy is clearly not developed in isolation,
but rather within a regional and global trade context. Over the years,
the number of commitments derived from participation in the World Trade
Organisation
(WTO), as well as CARICOM, the OECS, and other regional trade fora has
increased. As such, documents that provide some insight into these regional and
global policy frameworks have been included.

NATIONAL
TRADE POLICY |
|
 |
"Over the last decade Grenada trade
policy evolved as a result of its participation in
international, regional and bi-lateral trade agreements.
The change in trade policies reflected a shift from import
substitution to a more liberalised trading system. The erosion of trade preferences,
including the trend towards liberalisation of world trade, the
establishment of the WTO and the proliferation of regional trade
agreements have all impacted on the formulation of Grenada’s trade
policies."
