| Résumé : |
This volume draws together the reflections of a group of distinguished scholars and specialists on the role of economic integration for the countries of the MENA region. The timing is apposite bearing in mind the dramatic changes in these societies, the ongoing changes in the world economy, and also the pressing economic and social need for higher rates of economic growth in the region. The volume includes two types of contributions: country-specific analyses from leading country experts on Egypt, Morocco and Syria; and more formal cross-country analyses that take a broader perspective on the role of trade and integration.
There are several common themes that emerge: • The relatively low growth rates and relative lack of export success/dynamism in most of the region’s countries. • The importance of trade and integration in improving the competitiveness of the regions’ countries and, through that, impacting on their capacity for economic growth. • The close interface between appropriate institutions, regulatory frameworks and infrastructure, and international integration. • The need for much more than reductions in tariff barriers alone for effective trade liberalisation. • The need for the domestic political will to introduce reforms, to provide better incentives for investment and private sector activity, and to reduce corruption |
