Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Manuel A.J. Teehankee of the Philippines at the Trade Policy Review of Suriname, 11 and 13 September 2019.
The third Trade Policy Review of Suriname has offered us a good opportunity to deepen our understanding of recent developments in and challenges to its trade economic and investment policies. The more than 130 advance written questions submitted by 13 Members and the 18 delegations that took the floor during the first day underline the importance attached by Members to Suriname’s trade and investment policies and practices. The statements questions and replies voiced in the course of this Review have highlighted the fact that Suriname is a generally open economy with strong historical and economic links to many parts of the world that is rich in natural resources and for which trade is essential for development.
