Trade Policy Reform in Central and Eastern Europe: Early Experience and Lessons

Maya Koteva

Chapter 2 in Economic and Political Reform in Developing Countries, 1995, pp 39-57 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter summarises the experience with trade policy reform (TPR) of four Central and East European economies in transition. We wish to identify what lessons the experience of the early liberalisers can offer to newcomers in trade policy reform. The ‘front runners’ Czechoslovakia (since 1993 divided into the Czech and Slovak Republics), Hungary and Poland already have gained experience which may be instructive for countries like Bulgaria which started their transitional reforms later. The experiences of all these countries with trade liberalisation may offer positive and negative lessons to countries such as the former Soviet republics and Albania.
