GVCs for LDCs: How would new plan boost trade for least developed countries? - Lucian Cernat and Alessandro Antimiani, EIF Trade for Development News

Document Summary: 
Instead of preferential schemes based on ¡®direct¡¯ LDC exports, under the new GVCs for LDCs initiative, WTO members would offer duty-free access to LDC value-added that ¡®travels¡¯ inside finished products exported worldwide by any other WTO member. Hence, LDC exports will remain duty-free across the entire global supply chain, thus fitting the ¡®Made in the World¡¯ logic that the WTO has been advocating for several years.
