منطقة التجارة الحرة العربية الكبرى : تحليل و تقييم للفترة (1998-2006)‎

الملخص EN

The gradual implementation of the Arab free trade zone began in early 1998, and by 2005 all taxes and customs tariffs among the countries joining the free trade zone were completely cancelled.

However, the growth of Inter-Arab trade didn't match this gradual cancellation of taxes and customs duties.

In fact, it didn't exceed 11.2% of the total Arab trade.

This means that the cancellation of customs restrictions alone doesn't automatically lead to the growth of Inter-Arab trade.

There is a host of obstacles and barriers -not related to customspreventing the desired growth.
