The Who, What, Why, When,
and Where of the WTO?

Dear Readers,
The government of The Bahamas is moving full speed ahead toward joining the World Trade Organization (WTO). The Bahamas remains of the few remaining countries in the world who has yet to negotiate and sign an agreement with the international body.

“WTO members praised The Bahamas’ commitment to reactivate and accelerate its WTO accession process after six years of impasse. At the third meeting of the Working Party on the Accession of The Bahamas, held on 21 September, members expressed their full support to the government of the Caribbean nation in its intention to secure WTO membership by the end of 2019. The Bahamas is the last nation in the Americas still outside the WTO.”
