Supply Factors: The General Tariff Rate
The general tariff rate has not changed for some time. However, there is mounting pressure on the government to honour the promises that were made under both the previous government and the leadership before that. If these obligations are met, then the general tariff rate may fall in the near future.
Older data has been maintained here so that you can see when the trade reforms in this area were implemented.
