Innovative policy of WTO on trade in the global financial services market

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has been actively working to address the various challenges facing the global financial services market and is of great importance for the regulation of trade in general, including trade in financial services. This is done through the WTO’s guidance in the conclusion of trade agreements containing provisions on financial services, such as the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). The main goal of the GATS is to create conditions for legalizing and regulating trade in financial services between member countries. It promotes the creation of a legal framework for trade in services, including financial services, and establishes principlesand procedures to be followed by market participants. In addition, the WTO facilitates the exchange of information and best practices between countries to promote innovative development of the financial sector (FSC), Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), and stimulates competition, which can foster innovation. However, specific policies on innovation in the financial sector are usually determined by national governments and regulators, and the WTO helps to create a general framework for their development. However, it should be noted that ongoing efforts are needed to address the remaining challenges and to promote a more efficient and accessible global financial services market. The article examines the key features of the regulatory framework for modern financial instruments in individual countries, as well as the mechanisms of WTO regulation of the global financial services market.
