Trade Policy
of Saint Kitts and Nevis - Selected Documents |
|
This section centralises information
relating to
St. Kitts and Nevis' 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.
St. Kitts and Nevis' 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.
