North Macedonia has submitted its instrument of accession to the WTO’s Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA 2012), marking the completion of its internal ratification process. The instrument was handed to Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on 30 September by Burim Bilali, Counsellor with North Macedonia’s Permanent Mission to the WTO. Once its accession enters into force — on 30 October — North Macedonia will gain new market access opportunities while opening its own procurement market to other GPA parties and committing to enhanced transparency and efficiency for its government procurement procedures.
