The World Trade Organisation aims to promote free, fair and non-discriminatory world trade by lowering tariffs and barriers, settling trade disputes, raising living standards and employment, promoting sustainable development and granting special treatment to developing countries.

This 5-mark question in the AP Intermediate 2nd-year Economics reforms/globalisation unit asks for the objectives of the WTO, which came into being in 1995 in place of GATT.

Objectives of the WTO

  1. Promote free trade by progressively reducing tariffs, quotas and other barriers to trade among member countries.

  2. Ensure non-discrimination through the most-favoured-nation principle, so that a member treats all other members equally in trade.

  3. Settle trade disputes peacefully through an agreed dispute-settlement mechanism.

  4. Raise living standards, incomes and employment in member countries by expanding trade and production.

  5. Promote optimum use of world resources and sustainable development, keeping environmental protection in view.
