| The publication examines the emerging issues and critical factors in international trade of concern to the ESCAP region. It intends to assist governments and public officials in their preparations to maximize the gains from the Uruguay Round agreements. On the assessment of the Uruguay Round results, the study identifies the following areas which need to be addressed urgently: multilateral trade rules, trade in services, trade and the environment, and emerging issues of competition policy and labour standards. In order to sustain the growth of trade, governments need to consider the vulnerability of some areas, which have so far not benefited from the dynamism, flexibility and diversity that economic growth and trade have brought to other parts of the region. The study identifies critical factors to influence future trade outcomes, and recommends future policy directions.
This publication presents proceedings of an ESCAP/UNCTAD Seminar on Trade Prospects for the Year 2000 and Beyond for the Asian and Pacific Region, held in Beijing, China, from 3 to 5 September 1994. |
