Export competitiveness in Bolivia

Seynabou Sakho and Peter Walkenhorst

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In comparison with other countries, Bolivia seems to face a gap in its capacity to take advantage of international market opportunities. Addressing the shortcomings in Bolivia’s export performance is a major challenge and requires attention to the incentives that actual and potential exporters face, the efficiency of service providers in the economy, and the effectiveness of trade support institutions that help private sector firms to discover and exploit international market opportunities. These three elements of export competitiveness are discussed in turn in this paper.
