Harnessing Regional Integration for Trade and Growth in Southern Africa

World Bank, March 2011

The objective of this report is to provide practical policy recommendations for making regional trade integration in Southern Africa work. The premise is that regional integration is an important instrument to unleash the economic potential of the region. Adopting a pragmatic approach, the report examines key trends and challenges in Southern African regional trade agreements. Based on a body of new research it provides a wealth of examples on the obstacles encountered by some of the largest firms that trade regionally (e.g. Shoprite, Woolworths), as well as small ones for which the impact of trade barriers is more severe. It also includes survey-based evidence from services providers on the regulatory barriers that they face.
