| Summary: | The diagnosis of Gabon's trade
potential and the lessons from international experience
suggest that, in the long run, the best way to foster export
diversification may not be to try to achieve it immediately
through providing inefficient incentives but rather to first
build domestic capabilities, step by step. To do so, a
comprehensive approach that prioritizes and sequences
actions needs to be implemented. Key recommendations of this
report are to (1) strengthen the regulatory and
institutional framework for export promotion, (2) improve
the equality of human capital, (3) build a fair and
transparent business environment, and (4) upgrade the
quality, and reduce the cost, of infrastructure services. |
