Thierry Noyelle, PhDKathmandu, June 24, 2010 NTIS 2010 Main Findings
Goal: Ensure that trade development is a driver of “inclusive” growth by identifying, expanding, and diversifying an “inclusive” export base • Challenges: (1) Improve market access conditions; (2) Develop capacity to meet NTBs and improve domestic business environment; (3) Strengthen and diversify export supply capacity; (4) Strengthen GoN’s management and coordination of TRTA and AfT
Challenge: Build on recent trends to expand and diversify an “inclusive” export base…. • Increase the number of exported products and services • Increase the number of destination markets • Move up the Value Chain • Encourage the development of export sectors with high, positive “socio-economic” impact
NTIS 2010 identifies19 export potential goods and services ….
An analysis of the 19 export potentials confirms changes in attractive destination markets and in market access issues….
Impact of the 19 sectors on water and electricity resources is limited….
Detailed analyses in NTIS 2010 suggest ….. Four Major Areas of Capacity Building • Strengthening Market Access negotiations, especially bilateral negotiations and in priority products and services identified in NTIS 2010; • Strengthening the domestic business environment, including institutions focusing on NTBs; • Addressing capacity needs of individual sectors – especially focusing on the 19 export potentials; • Strengthening GoN’s capacity to coordinate and manage TRTA and AfT
These four capacity building areas are the basis for preparing an ….. Action Matrix to support the development of an “inclusive” trade sector in Nepal
The Working Sessions during today’s launch will help us point to several areas where Government and Private Sector Actions are needed…. During the Closing Session, we will seek to reduce the Action Matrix to a “bite-size” list of short- to medium-term priorities that could serve as a starting point for implementing NTIS 2010 Action Matrix….
Thank you for your attention….. We look forward to your active participation during today’s discussions
