There are six principal reasons why the
Uruguay Round (UR) is of interest to Sub-Saharan African
(SSA) countries: it will be a boost to the world economy and
to demand; It covers agriculture for the first time,
especially temperate crops; Non-tariff barriers (NTBs) are
critical for Africa, and these are to be abolished; tariff
escalation comes down in the round, encouraging
industrialization; there are potential losses of preferences
for African exporters; and there are new obligations
associated with World Trade Organization (WTO) membership.
This study, the impact of the Uruguay round on Africa,
therefore attempts to measure these different factors to
assess their quantitative importance for Africa. |
