General Agreement On Tariffs And Trade
- General Agreement On Tariffs And Trade
(GATT)
The GATT was signed by 23 countries on 1 January 1948 following the preliminary agreement reached in Havana, Cuba, the previous year. Intended to prevent the economic competition that had contributed to the Great Depression in the 1930s, the agreement was an attempt to reduce international trade barriers by removing tariffs and established “favored nation” status between participating nations. Further reductions in tariff barriers were reached in 1949, 1951, and 1955.
