Singapore and 52 other World Trade Organization (WTO) Members announced the conclusion of the landmark Expansion of the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) on 16 December 2015, in Nairobi, Kenya. This is the first major tariff-elimination deal at the WTO in almost two decades.

This includes products such as GPS systems, multi-component integrated circuits, medical devices and touchscreen devices.
