THE EFFECTS OF MULTILATERAL TRADE AGREEMENTS UNDER THE WTO FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Abstract

The WTO has a significant contribution to improving market access for developing countries in increasing their trade. As a member of the WTO, developing countries have greater opportunities to participate in global trade and integration in the world economy. In this context, the WTO creates a framework for world trade that is predictable and less arbitrary, which is especially important for developing countries.
