GUY26-1

Following the completion of the WTO-World Bank Regulatory Survey on Impediments to Services Trade in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Workshop provides an opportunity to present in detail the data collected, including with a view to identifying potential market access and national treatment limitations in comparison with peer economies in the region and similar levels of development. Furthermore, it discusses alignment of Guyana’s services frameworks with Good Regulatory Practices, including with a view to assessing their compatibility with the WTO Disciplines on Services Domestic Regulation (SDR Disciplines) and Guyana's readiness to integrate the SDR Disciplines in its GATS schedule.
