| Summary: | This report provides a multifaceted
diagnostic overview of Lesotho's export
competitiveness, including an analysis of the macroeconomic
environment in which exporters and importers operate in
Lesotho; level, growth, composition, and market share
performance of Lesotho's exports; the evolution of FDI
inflows and their sectoral composition; the diversification
of products and markets, as well as the quality and
sophistication of Lesotho's exports. It builds on this
with CGE analysis of potential impacts based on specific
trade-related scenarios as well as diagnostic tools to
facilitate the analysis of global and regional value chain
participation and integration. The report then formulates
several recommendations that could enhance export
competitiveness, deepen Lesotho's integration in global
and regional value chains in goods and services and
strengthen the country’s ability to respond to changing
external environment. |
