Which of the following was NOT an objective of General Agreement on Trade and Tariff (GATT)?

Options:

to administer all multilateral trade agreements

providing equal opportunities to all countries in the international market for trading purposes

to establish a rule-based trading regime

none of the above

Correct Answer:

to establish a rule-based trading regime

Explanation:

The WTO was founded in 1995 as the successor organisation to the General Agreement on Trade and Tariff (GATT). GATT was established in 1948 with 23 countries as the global trade organisation to administer all multilateral trade agreements by providing equal opportunities to all countries in the international market for trading purposes. WTO is expected to establish a rule-based trading regime in which nations cannot place arbitrary restrictions on trade.
