هل استفادت الدول العربية من اتفاقيات التجارة الإقليمية مع الدول المتقدمة ؟ : حالة المغرب-الاتحاد الأوروبي

Abstract EN

Many Arab countries signed regional trade agreements with developed and developing countries, especially with the European Union (EU).

To find out to what extent Arab countries benefited from these agreements, this study concentrated on the evaluation of the impact of the free trade agreement signed between Morocco and the EU on the Moroccan trade, particularly in manufactured goods.

The paper used a mix of quantitative methods and analytical methods to compare the evolution of goods that benefited from the provisions of the agreement with the other products during the period covering before and after agreement entry into force.

The results showed that trade performance was below expectations.

This is due to several reasons, in particular a modest production structure that is characterized by low price flexibility, a strong competition from the European market, and high nontariff barriers imposed by EU countries.
