ACCESSIONS:

g7+ WTO Accessions Group

The g7+ WTO Accessions Group is a sub-group of the larger g7+, an association of 20 fragile and conflict-affected (FCA) states. The g7+ WTO Accessions Group was officially launched on the margins of the 11th WTO Ministerial Conference in Buenos Aires by eight g7+ members associated with WTO accessions: three recently acceded members (Afghanistan, Liberia and Yemen) and five acceding governments (Comoros, Sao Tome and Principe, Somalia, South Sudan and Timor-Leste). In January 2019, the Group accepted Sudan (an acceding government) as its ninth member.

The main objectives of the g7+ WTO Accessions Group are to:

  • facilitate the integration of FCA economies into the multilateral trading system through WTO accession-related reforms, including the establishment of credible economic and trade policy frameworks and institutions, and the promotion of transparency and good governance
  • support the efforts of the WTO acceding governments in the Group, including through information and experience sharing.
