WTO Domestic Regulation and Services Trade
Domestic regulation of services sectors has a significant impact on services trade liberalization, which is why General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) disciplines are negotiated in the WTO. With the help of analyses and case-studies from academics, regulators and trade experts, this book explores the scope and limits of WTO legal principles to promote domestic regulatory reform. Case-studies discuss country-specific challenges and experiences of regulating important service sectors, such as finance, telecommunications, distribution, legal, education, health, postal and logistics services, as well as the role of regulatory impact assessments. The findings will interest trade officials, policy-makers, regulators, think tanks and businesses concerned with the implications of domestic regulation on access to services markets, and with the opportunities for formulating trade disciplines in this area. It is also a useful resource for academics and students researching regulatory approaches and practices in services sectors.

Harnessing Services Trade for Sustainable Growth
The services sector has been the main source of economic growth in recent decades. Logistics, finance and information technologies are essential to the functioning of modern economies while business services, healthcare and entertainment are among the world’s fastest growing sectors. This publication – co-published by the WTO and the World Bank – underlines the contribution that trade and investment in services can make to economic growth and development. It highlights, in particular, the importance of re-energizing international cooperation on services trade and encourages reflection on how best to mobilize assistance for developing and least-developed economies in implementing services sector reforms so that they can reap the gains from expanded trade and investment in services.
El comercio de servicios para el desarrollo
Promover el crecimiento sostenible y la diversificación económica
El sector de los servicios ha sido la principal fuente de crecimiento económico en los últimos decenios. La logística, las finanzas y las tecnologías de la información son esenciales para el funcionamiento de las economías modernas; por otro lado, los servicios prestados a las empresas, la atención sanitaria y el esparcimiento son algunos de los sectores que más rápido han crecido a nivel mundial. Esta publicación conjunta de la OMC y el Banco Mundial pone de relieve la contribución que el comercio y la inversión en el sector de los servicios pueden hacer al crecimiento económico y al desarrollo. Destaca, en particular, la importancia de revitalizar la cooperación internacional en el sector del comercio de servicios y fomenta la reflexión sobre la mejor manera de movilizar la asistencia para las economías en desarrollo y las menos adelantadas respecto de la aplicación de las reformas relacionadas con los servicios a fin de que esas economías puedan aprovechar los beneficios de la expansión del comercio y la inversión en el sector de los servicios.
Le commerce des services pour le développement
Favoriser la croissance durable et la diversification économique
Au cours des dernières décennies, le secteur des services a été la principale source de croissance économique. Si la logistique, la finance et les technologies de l'information jouent un rôle essentiel dans le fonctionnement des économies modernes, les services fournis aux entreprises, les soins de santé et les loisirs figurent parmi les secteurs dont la croissance est la plus forte au monde. Cette publication – publiée conjointement par la Banque mondiale et l'OMC – met en avant la contribution que le commerce et l'investissement dans le secteur des services peuvent apporter à la croissance et au développement économiques. Elle souligne, en particulier, qu'il est important de redynamiser la coopération internationale dans le commerce des services et invite à réfléchir sur la manière de mobiliser au mieux l'aide pour les économies en développement et les économies les moins avancées dans la mise en œuvre des réformes du secteur des services, afin que celles-ci puissent tirer parti de l'expansion du commerce et de l'investissement dans ce secteur.
