Côte d’Ivoire : Company Perspectives –An ITC series on non -tariff measures (FR)
Côte d’Ivoire exporters face more obstacles in the regional market than in global markets, reveals a recent ITC survey on non-tariff measures. Twothirds of exporting companies encounter obstacles related to non-tariff measures. A main challenge is the delivery of certificates of origin to export in neighbouring countries. While several agreements are put into place to enhance trade integration and development, many barriers remain for their concrete application.

Medical and Wellness Tourism: Lessons from Asia
With health tourism on the rise, this study draws upon four Asian countries - India, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines – to offer insight into how developing countries can attract a greater share in this industry. The study is relevant for all countries exploring market opportunities in medical and wellness tourism, with a global industry overview, country case studies and a summary of ITC assistance for market entry. It is the outcome of a study for Sri Lanka, which aims to quadruple its ‘high-spending tourists’ over six years, in part by building on its deep knowledge of ayurveda, as well as competitively-priced ‘Western’ medical treatments.

50 Years of Unlocking SME Competitiveness : Lessons for the Future
This ITC 50th anniversary publication explores new opportunities to connect small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries to global markets, provides recommendations for trade assistance and presents a road map for ITC’s future work. New opportunities in international trade are driven by global supply chains; emerging markets as sources of demand; consumer preferences for higher value products; and lower costs due to innovations in transport and communication. Trade assistance can help raise competitiveness and better spread the benefits of trade. A review of trade trends and ITC’s role in trade development over the past 50 years, and essays with international business perspectives for the next 20 years, serve as a springboard to outline ITC’s way forward in its commitment to trade competitiveness for SMEs.
