Preview Trading into Sustainable Development: Trade, Market Access and the Sustainable Development Goals (English)Report by UNCTAD, 2016, 86 pagesCategories: Enterprise Development, Globalization and Development StrategiesThis report examines various interactions between trade policy, with a specific focus on market access conditions, and factors that constitute the basis for achieving sustainable development. Market access conditions vis-à- vis imports are determined by a combination of border measures and “behind the border” measures, both of which add costs to the price of an imported product. By generating significant impact upon consumer welfare and the competitiveness of domestic industries, market access conditions in international trade thus are a key determinant of the effectiveness of trade as a means of implementation.
