Trade in Services
|
Services play a strategic role in development through its provision of basic infrastructure such as health, education, telecommunications and financial services. Hence, service provision is directly related to poverty reduction. The role of Government is considered critical by way of being a major provider of such services as well as in regulating it. Although services is a substantial portion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is one of the largest sources of employment in developing countries, the participation of most developing countries in international trade remains modest.
