Summary
  • Trade facilitation is not a panacea, however, in order to maximize the benefits of trade for increasing growth and reducing poverty, SIDS will have to incrementally invest in trade facilitation measures.
  • Every economy is a part of the global supply chain.
  • All the stakeholders in the trade chain must contribute to the costs of trade facilitation.
