Trade Regime Bias and the Response to Trade Liberalisation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

This paper investigates the relative importance of trade policy and 'natural' sources of export 'taxation' in the African region. Using case study evidence for Uganda, it argues that natural barriers are a greater source of export taxation than trade policy. This may be one factor in the limited export supply response in Africa to trade policy liberalization. There is, however, scope for further industry trade regime bias in the region by increasing the competitiveness and efficiency of transport and financial services. Greater importance needs to be attached to sectoral and infrastructural reforms in the design of structural adjustment programs. Copyright 1998 by WWZ and Helbing & Lichtenhahn Verlag AG
