11 April 2005
It has been seven months since we were able to produce the Trade Policy Monitor for our readers. Apart from difficulty fitting in the production of the newsletter, it is clear from the last three issues that the focus is shifting from trade policy in a pure sense to other global matters.
It is not without some sadness that we have made the decision to cease publication of the Trade Policy Monitor effective immediately. Details are provided in the last issue dated April 2005, which has been sent to subscribers.
We are of course still available to research and write on a range of trade policy and global economic issues under consulting contract. Please contact us at your convenience in this regard.
