| The Monterrey Consensus underscores the central role of international trade as well as private capital flows as engines for development. In many countries, they account for much larger sources of financing for development than official development assistance. The articles in this publication provide insights into the role of trade and investments and their interlinkages to financing for development in Asia and the Pacific. It contains both qualitative and quantitative assessments of external financing for development. Special attention is given to the potential of the Doha Development Agenda and of regional trade agreements, special problems of least developed countries and the phase-out of quota-restrictions in textiles and clothing. |
