Haiti - Economy : «From market access, to the presence on the market» 09/06/2013 14:22:09 Mr. von Kirchbach will participate in a round table on the main elements of this strategy during this one-day event entitled "From market access, to the presence on the market". "Countries in the region have understood very well that export diversification is their best chance to accelerate their economic growth [...] The ITC has extensive experience in the region and beyond, in terms of assistance in the implementation of strategies, realization of ideas in the field and the achievement of sustainable long-term growth," said von Kirchbach. Explaining that "economic performance of most countries in the region was not very bright ; it also suffered of a significant decline in revenues from tourism, following the 2008 financial crisis. Countries in the region have access to international markets through multilateral, regional and bilateral trade agreements ; the strategy identifies ways to transform this market access in presence on the markets for exporters of the region. The strategy is a tool to create a consensus among the members States of CARICOM around priorities to achieve greater diversification of the regional economy. It presents a coherent approach to resource mobilization, which provides donors, investors and other international development partners an overview of how members intend to use resources. The next step for the strategy, will consist in the identification of non-traditional export sectors with high potential. The private sector must play a role in the identification of these priority sectors and in the creation of export strategies on the regional and national plan [...] The objectives of the new strategy can not be achieved without the commitment and active participation of the private sector." Adding that "the economic diversification requires new skills, market information and capacity building of exporters and suppliers of services and aid for trade. The smaller economies are not able to provide the support services required to trade, but according to the strategy, it is possible to achieve economies of scale through regional cooperation."
