BookPublisher: Washington : World Bank, 1996Subject(s): Trade Policy | Sub Saharan Africa -- Trade -- Trade barriers. -- Sub Saharan Africa -- Trade -- Trade barriers. -- Sub Saharan Africa -- Trade -- Trade barriersSummary: The objective of this study is to determine the extent to which "external" barriers and policies in OECD countries contributed to the decline in world trade in Sub Saharan Africa. The study also examines the role played by international transport costs since recent investigations show the nominal equivalents of these charges on developing countries exports are often considerably greater than tariffs, and policy measures often are available for their reduction. In addition, the report examines a number of policy options relating to tariffs and NTBs the OECD countries might adopt to improve the competitive position of African exports.
