The multilateral trading system is the framework behind global trade, based on common rules that make international exchanges more open, predictable, and inclusive.
With 166 members representing over 98% of world trade, the WTO stands at the center of this framework, where countries agree to play by the same rule book.
Santiago Wills, Director of the Council and Trade Negotiations Committee (TNC) at the World Trade Organization, explains how it all impacts everyday life.
