This Country Note presents the latest evidence on services trade regulations using the OECD Services Trade Restrictiveness Index (STRI). It provides an updated profile of the country’s regulatory environment across 22 services sectors from 2014 to 2025. The Note highlights recent policy changes affecting services trade, identifies areas where the country performs well, and points to sectors where reforms could further reduce services trade restrictions. It also situates the country’s regulatory developments within broader international trends, supporting evidence based decisions and facilitating analysis of the drivers and impediments shaping its services trade performance.
The STRI allows policy makers, regulators, and exporters to compare services trade barriers over time and across 51 economies, offering a transparent and consistent assessment of market openness.
