This volume builds on the foundation
laid by the 2005 report by focusing on the factors affecting
the region's competitiveness and the critical role that
the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME) has to play
as a driver of integration and economic development. In
addition it highlights the potential of the Economic
Partnership Agreement (EPA), if properly implemented, to
significantly increase the region's competitiveness and
to help it attain long-term sustained development. This
potential, however, will only be realized if precise trade
and competitiveness strategies are crafted to focus
primarily on removing the constraints to competitiveness
endemic in the region. In addition, and this is a critical
element of any newly-devised strategy, is the necessity to
revise regional institutional mechanisms and mandates to
promote implementation and to take advantage of the market
access opportunities presented by successive trade
agreements such as the EPA. This report, while highlighting
the need for immediate and concrete actions on the part of
the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states, also
recognizes the responsibility of the donor community in
helping to play a catalytic role in supporting trade reform
and macroeconomic stability. The aid for trade agenda must
seek to address the weaknesses inherent in the formulation
and application of international aid policies and implement
new frameworks aimed at enhancing the ability of these small
nation states to meet and overcome the challenges of global competitiveness. |
