Succeeding With Trade Reforms: The Role Of Aid For Trade

Succeeding with Trade Reforms: The Role of Aid for Trade highlights the potential of aid for trade to boost economic growth and reduce poverty, while discussing the various reasons why it may not be realised.

In so doing, this book draws lessons for the design of aid-for-trade projects and programmes and for increasing their effectiveness.

Building on this analysis, the book also quantifies the binding constraints to trade in developing countries and the importance of complementary and compatible policies (such as education, governance, business environment and macroeconomic stability) to maximise the impact of trade reforms on trade and economic growth.
