The Role of Trade in Ending Poverty looks at the complex relationships between economic growth, poverty reduction and trade, and examines the challenges that poor people face in benefiting from trade opportunities. Written jointly by the World Bank Group and the WTO, the publication examines how trade could make a greater contribution to ending poverty by increasing efforts to lower trade costs, improve the enabling environment, implement trade policy in conjunction with other areas of policy, better manage risks faced by the poor, and improve data used for policy-making.

However, their rapid growth in the 1970s and early 1980s, and outward orientation make them more important than their sall size would indicate. This book covers topics such as trade in goods and services, intellectual property rights, investment, US ansd ASEAN economic outlook and recommendations for framework agreement.
