Book Description
This paper presents simple computational techniques to examine a variety of effects of the Uruguay Round on developing country trade flows. These methods are applied to the cases of Egypt and Morocco to simulate the implications of the Round for their medium-term balance of payments. The analysis takes into account most-favored-nation tariff cuts, preference erosion, liberalization of trade in textiles and clothing, and potential increases in world food prices. The simulation results indicate that the overall balance of payments implications of the Uruguay Round for these countries, while negative, may not be very significant.

Egypt and the Uruguay Round

Book Description
May 1996 Although the Uruguay Round will generally have a limited impact on Egyptian policies affecting goods, investment and services, commitments by Egypt can be seen as facilitating the move toward a free trade agreement with the European Union. The Uruguay Round will generally have a limited impact on Egyptian policies affecting goods, investment, and services. It will have a more significant impact on intellectual property, although this will take up to a decade to materialize fully. Insofar as this reflects a continuing defensiveness against liberalization, it does not bode well for a country that will be facing growing competitive pressures as the world economy becomes more integrated. But Egypt's Uruguay Round commitments do, to a large extent, lock in the policy changes pursued by the government since the late 1980s. In this respect, they are quite significant. Maximum tariffs have been established for almost all tariff lines, and the gap between these bindings and the level of applied tariffs is in most cases relatively small. This constitutes a level of commitment that substantially exceeds the developing country average. The government is negotiating a more far-reaching agreement with the European Union to liberalize trade on a reciprocal basis. Commitments by Egypt in the Uruguay Round can be seen as facilitating implementation of a Euro-Mediterranean Agreement. Such an agreement could facilitate further nondiscriminatory liberalization of Egypt's trade regime. Of particular importance in this connection is opening service markets to greater competition, where much remains to be done. This paper -- a product of the Private Sector and Finance Team, Europe and Central Asia, and Middle East and North Africa Technical Department -- was presented at a University of Cairo conference, The Impact of the Uruguay Round on Egypt, held in Cairo on January 13-15, 1996.
