La OMC has launched its revamped Portal de Datos de la OMCThis tool is designed to centralize access to all of the organization's statistical and regulatory information. This update aims to improve support for the formulation of trade policies for the Members of the Organization and private sector actors.
Unification of resources under the 2030 Strategy
The core of this renewal is the new catalog of datasets of the OMCThis development allows users to explore key metrics in a single digital space, avoiding the scattered navigation across multiple platforms that characterized the previous system. This initiative aligns directly with the Estrategia 2030 de la Secretaría, reinforcing the institutional commitment to the data dissemination and the access to knowledge of high strategic value.
