The OECD Services Trade Restrictiveness Index (STRI) provides annually updated, comparable data on regulations affecting services trade across 51 countries and 22 sectors. The 2026 STRI report shows that, in 2025, new regulatory restrictions outweighed liberalising measures. Reform momentum slowed significantly, signalling a stagnation in services trade policy modernisation amid fast evolving technologies and heightened geopolitical uncertainty. This lack of progress puts at risk potential gains in competitiveness and productivity across the 51 economies covered in this edition.
