By empty (9/29/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned Kazakhstan World Trade Organization (WTO) membership, for which the country is so eagerly preparing, is not going to improve the country\'s position on world markets, \"Novye izvestiya\" reported on 28 August. According to the IMF, WTO membership will not affect Kazakhstan\'s relations with its present trading partners, because it already has free-trade agreements with them. Nor will membership help Kazakhstan overcome trade barriers such as antidumping sanctions.Visit also
