The Department for International Trade (DIT) commissioned International Economic Consulting to deliver evidence on:

• the estimated impact of WTO membership on aggregate trade (percent change) across the agriculture, mining, manufacture, and services sectors by country
• the estimated impact of WTO membership on aggregate exports and economic welfare gains (percent change) by country

This was published originally by Department for International Trade (DIT) which has since moved to the Department for Business and Trade (DBT).
