This book proposes achievable strategies to meet the current challenges and improve economic efficiency. This book utilizes two distinct econometric tools to assess four key sectors-energy, banking and insurance, transport, and agribusiness-and outlines sector-specific recommendations. To that end, the authors advocate revamping existing free trade agreements, reducing tariff and non-tariff barriers, and creating new industries and service activities as a means to overcome market impediments and elevate the region's attractiveness to global firms.
