Fourteenth in the series, the main theme of the Report is an analysis of how different aspects of the multilateral trading system affect opportunities and constraints for LDCs in enhancing their participation in the world economy. The Report analyses, in particular, several aspects of the multilateral trading system which have traditionally not been the main focus of concern for LDCs but which are rapidly growing in importance and which are likely to become increasingly crucial to LDCs as these countries attempt to diversify their economies and enhance their involvement in the global economy. These issues include the extension of the multilateral framework to cover trade and the environment, trade in services and foreign investment. The Report identifies areas where specific concessions and provisions in multilateral agreements may be beneficial to LDCs and where technical assistance may be needed to assist LDCs to integrate into the world economy. In addition the Report addresses the issue of mobilizing private sector finance for investment in LDCs. [English only]
