Trade Policy
of Dominica - Selected Documents |
|
This section centralises information
relating to Dominica'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.
Dominica'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 |
|
 |
"
[Trade
Policy] has and will continue to focus on the
development of the institutional and legislative framework to
reposition Dominica’s trade sector to reap the benefits of globalisation but also to overcome the numerous challenges that
will undoubtedly emerge as the process continues its course. We
are also ensuring that domestic producers are given the
opportunity to undertake the necessary structural reforms of
their companies in order to face the increased competition that
characterises trade liberalisation."
