Report by the WTO Secretariat
Since its previous trade policy review in 2002, the Dominican Republic has continued with the liberalization of its trade regime. Among other measures, customs procedures were streamlined, tariffs reduced, import surcharges and export taxes eliminated, and new legislation adopted on government procurement, competition policy and intellectual property rights. Participation in the global economy has remained intense, with trade in goods and services, investment flows and family remittances making key contributions to the economy. As such, the Dominican Republic has continued to give priority to its participation in the multilateral trade agenda, while also seeking to further its integration into the global economy through preferential agreements.

Commerce des services
Les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) ont occupé une place importante dans les travaux du Conseil du commerce des services en 2011. Les discussions ont porté essentiellement sur le commerce électronique et sur l'itinérance mobile internationale. Le Conseil a achevé le troisième examen des exemptions du traitement de la nation la plus favorisée (NPF) et a poursuivi ses discussions sur certains secteurs de services et modes de fourniture, sur la base de notes d'information établies par le Secrétariat de l'OMC.
