Project Description
The project is intended to facilitate a dialogue on increasing trade in services among PA members based on expertise, data analysis, and knowledge sharing. The WBG will deliver support to the Pacific Alliance to improve export opportunities and promote the integration of the services market for services trade through the following components:
Phase I (4 months): Analytical work on trade in services and linkages to manufacturing. The WBG will produce a study to assess trade in services and related policies in the PA countries in comparison to global trends, including trade in services flows and how services linkages in the PA countries compare to other OECD economies.
Phase II (4 months): Best practices in promotion of services exports. The component will seek to provide lessons learned from regional and international experiences on policies oriented towards services export promotion, between Pacific Alliance countries as well as with external partners.
Phase III (4 months) Assessing restrictions to one key backbone type of services. The component will assess the regulatory framework to cross-border trade in one specific services sector, such as transport or professional services, in order to identify potential barriers that impair trade and limit competitiveness. The analysis will deliver a review of specific regulatory restrictions affecting cross-border services in the Pacific Alliance.
