Synopsis Trade facilitation has become a vital issue for developed and developing nations across the world. The issue is so important that it was discussed in various rounds of WTO proceedings. Globally, export promotion is seen as an important strategy for economic growth. Export promotion consists of activities that assist in greater acceptability and marketability of the export items. Nowadays, every country is emphasizing export promotion, to increase its volume of export. This eventually helps the country to overcome the real or perceived obstacles to exporting. This book highlights various drivers of export performance (both positive factors and constraints) and also issues related to the latest WTO meeting at Hong Kong. In the light of the factors influencing exports, the book throws light on the success stories of various countries that are boosting their exports through appropriate measures and strategies in a systematic format. For example, China has witnessed a rapid growth in manufacturing and India in software exports. The export promotional strategies and initiatives of Governments and different institutions of countries to enhance their export competitiveness, have been discussed comprehensively in this book. This book will serve as a valuable reference for scholars, entrepreneurs, export firms, policymakers, and those who are interested in the vital determinants of exports.
