Most Favored Nation

Read a random definition: full name

A quick definition of Most Favored Nation:

The Most Favored Nation clause is a rule that says a country must treat all of its trading partners the same. This means that if a country lowers a tax or fee for one trading partner, it has to do the same for all of its other trading partners. This rule is often included in agreements between countries that want to trade with each other. While the World Trade Organization has made many of these agreements unnecessary, there are still some legal issues that need to be worked out.

A more thorough explanation:

Most Favored Nation is a clause that is often included in bilateral investment treaties. It requires a host state to treat all of its trading partners equally. This means that if the host state lowers a tariff for one trading partner, it must lower it for all trading partners.

For example, if Country A has a trade agreement with Country B that includes a Most Favored Nation clause, and Country A lowers its tariffs for Country C, then Country A must also lower its tariffs for Country B.

Most major trading states are members of the World Trade Organization (WTO), which has trade agreements that have superseded many preexisting bilateral investment treaties. However, there are still legal issues between the operation of the WTO basic treaty and existing BITs.

The Most Favored Nation clause ensures that all trading partners are treated equally, which promotes fair trade practices and prevents discrimination against certain countries.
