Part One includes seven chapters covering complex issues of post-quota trade and production adjustments in the world and the region, including the large exporters such as China and India and the role of trade facilitation. Efforts were made to provide current information on remaining protectionism in textile and clothing trade in both developed and developing markets. Countries covered through reports in Part Two are Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal and Thailand.
