The latest general agreement on tariffs and trade (GATT) statistics show that export earnings of developing nations fell by 5.5 percent last year, while their imports fell by 6.5 percent in value terms. New GATT negotiations must be launched to help create a more certain outlook for trade and, indeed, for the world economy. He discusses that export development in the developing countries is not possible without generation of the skills the modern market and modern technology require, and the transfer of these skills becomes the cutting edge of education. Restoration of economic growth in the developing countries will benefit the export industries of the developed countries. The Bank attaches great importance to securing a more open trading environment. The negotiations should include discussion of all issues of importance to international trade between developed and developing countries, and they should also increase opportunities for trade among developing countries themselves. 2018-10-22T17:05:53Z 2018-10-22T17:05:53Z 1986-09-17 Speech http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/425841489737531935/Address-as-prepared-for-delivery-by-Barber-B-Conable-President-to-the-GATT-ministerial-meeting-Uruguay-September-17-1986 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30572 English Speech delivered in Punta del Este, Uruguay, September 17, 1986 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Uruguay |
