Trade monitoring
Preface
The Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM) was first established on a trial basis by the GATT CONTRACTING PARTIES in April 1989. The Mechanism became a permanent feature of the World Trade Organization under the Marrakesh Agreement which established the WTO in January 1995.
Efectos de la tecnología en el funcionamiento del mercado de trabajo
En esta sección se examinan los efectos de la tecnología en el nivel y la composición del empleo y en los salarios. El progreso tecnológico, al incrementar la productividad de los factores de producción, amplía la frontera de posibilidades de producción de una economía de forma que esta puede producir lo mismo con menos recursos, o producir más con la misma cantidad de recursos.
Economic research activities
In 2012, the Economic Research and Statistics Division (ERSD) organized 56 events, many in collaboration with other institutions. They included the launch of the World Trade Report 2012, a seminar on exchange rates and trade, the annual Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) conference, a co-publication with UNCTAD and a series of seminars in the Geneva Trade and Development Workshop programme.
Report by the WTO Secretariat
Papua New Guinea’s resource-rich economy remains heavily reliant on subsistence agriculture. Its average GDP per capita was just over US$1,000 in 2007. PNG is heavily trade dependent (both on primary exports and manufactured imports, including inputs), and vulnerable to world commodity price movements. Ranking 148th on the UNDP’s Human Development Index (a lowranked medium human development country), PNG has not met the Millennium Development Goals.
