Résumé
Services represent 40% of exports in many developing countries. In five years, this is expected to jump to 70%, with business and professional services representing the lion's share. Most of the opportunity lies in trade among developing countries. However, while service firms already contribute significantly to the domestic economy and may be well positioned to supply to foreigners, they rarely export. Awareness is the key to unlocking the potential for trade in services, says Doreen Conrad, Chief of ITC's Trade in Services section. Once people are informed, it releases their creativity and ideas, she says. As part of the programme, services experts from beneficiary countries join a network, ServiceExportNet, to share best practices, challenges, accomplishments and future needs. There are currently 16 countries in the network, which expands each year.
