A vast body of analytical and empirical research
undertaken by UNCTAD and others clearly
demonstrates that a thriving services sector is vital for
all countries [1]. High rates of investment and economic
growth associated with services can contribute to
poverty alleviation and human development when
the right policies are in place to overcome supply
constraints and ensure economy-wide development
gains from services and services trade. New domestic
services supply and services export opportunities for
developing countries therefore need to be supported
and facilitated by national policies and multilateral
agreements relating to services trade, with an
emphasis on creating an enabling environment for
small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which
account for the bulk of developing country firms in the
services sectors.
