Trade has proven to be a powerful engine
of growth worldwide. But not all countries have benefited
equally. Despite much effort to use trade policy to catalyze
exports, many developing countries have failed to achieve
successful, sustainable export and economic growth. Even
with the benefit of preferential market access, many
developing country exporters face a broad and diverse set of
constraints that limit their potential to compete in export
markets. This paper discusses the concept of
"competitiveness" with respect to trade and the
various dimensions on which trade competitiveness might be
assessed. It argues there is a need for a framework by which
trade competitiveness can be assessed in a systematic way.
Inspired by the "growth diagnostics" approach, it
outlines a possible framework for assessing factors that
facilitate or constrain trade competitiveness. |
