  • "Over the past decade, four major developments in global economic integration have shaped trade policy and the economic performance of countries within the Middle East and North Africa region: the emergence of global supply chains, the growth of trade in services, the rise of China and India as major international trading powers, and regional integration. These developments, along with the labor and natural resource endowments of particular countries (some are resource-poor but labor-abundant, some resource-rich and labor-abundant, and some resource-rich and labor-importing), have influenced export diversification outcomes across the region. Yet these countries may not be taking full advantage of all of the opportunities the four new trends offer to them."
  • "Trade Competitiveness of the Middle East and North Africa: Policies for Export Diversification examines the region's trade policy agendas and their results by focusing on the countries' response to these four key developments in international trade. As the region recovers from the global financial and economic crises, the book identifies reforms that could allow countries to further strengthen global production networks, benefit more from trade in services, better compete in external markets to face the rise of China and India, and reach the full potential of regional integration. If thoroughly implemented, especially by oil exporters, all of these reforms could help boost growth and job creation in the region. --Résumé de l'éditeur."
  • "This book collects some of the most relevant and policy oriented-papers that the MENA department of the World Bank produced as contributions to trade reform and exports diversification in some MENA countries. The selected articles were written during the critical 2005-08 years, a period featuring an accelerated pace of trade reform, increasing competition from China and India in European markets, and an increasing regional concern about exports diversification either in oil-producing countries, like Algeria, or in emerging services-oriented countries, like Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt. The book is structured in 4 blocks: regional trade policy, exports diversification, trade in services and China and India trade with MENA. Lessons from the book are particularly relevant for countries reforming trade policy in services or actively engaged in diversifying away from oil-concentrated economies."
