Abstract: The paper investigates the relevance of governance indicators for the export performance of the Middle East and North African (MENA) members of countries. Voice and accountability, political stability and regulatory quality are introduced in an augmented gravity model with a panel data set over 2010-2017. All institutional variables display an insignificant association with export performance except political stability and absence of violence that becomes significant with MENA exports, whereby it has the largest influence. Therefore, to conclude the governments should give high precedence to develop broad policy reforms that encourage institutional development and trade within the region and at the global level to enhance the global competitive position of the MENA region.
