The study is to build the foundation for accelerated growth by enhancing the integration of its economy into regional and global markets. This Diagnostic Trade Integration Study (DTIS) is intended to provide a broad overview of the key elements for successful integration into external markets, both through access to low-cost imports and especially through the development and diversification of exports. It pays particular attention to the role that trade can play in poverty reduction. It is fully in line with Niger's new strategy for accelerated development and poverty reduction. Indeed, that strategy refers to this study as a key input and identifies the same set of priority sectors as sources of growth - rural development, artisanal crafts, tourism and mining. This study is also consistent with the rural development strategy which emphasizes various export-oriented agro-pastoral subsectors. What this study to do is to provide more details and a sense of priorities in order to strengthen the trade component of these two strategies.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO BANKACCOUNTINGAGRICULTURAL CREDITAGRICULTURAL PRACTICESAGRICULTUREAIRAIR TRAFFICALLOCATION OF CREDITARREARSARREARS ACCUMULATIONAUDITSBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBANK CREDITSBANK FINANCINGBANK RATEBANKING SECTORBANKING SYSTEMBENEFICIARIESBINDING CONSTRAINTSBOTTLENECKSBUDGETARY SUPPORTBUSINESS CLIMATEBUSINESS LAWBUSINESS REGULATIONSCADASTRECAPITAL FORMATIONCAPITAL INFLOWSCARBONCARBON CREDITSCENTRAL BANKCENTRAL BANKSCHECKSCLEARING HOUSECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVENESSCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISCPICREDIT GUARANTEESCREDITWORTHINESSCURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCEDAMAGESDEBTDEBT REDUCTIONDEBT REDUCTIONSDEBT RELIEFDEBT SERVICEDECENTRALIZATIONDEPOSITSDEVALUATIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDISBURSEMENTSDIVIDENDSDOMESTIC MARKETECONOMIC GROWTHEFFECTIVE USEEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEEQUIPMENTEXCESS DEMANDEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATE REGIMEEXPENDITURESEXPLOITATIONEXPORT SECTORSEXPORTEREXPORTERSEXPORTSEXTERNAL BORROWINGEXTERNAL DEBTEXTERNAL FINANCEEXTERNAL TRADEFINANCE INFRASTRUCTUREFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SUPPORTFISCAL DEFICITFISHINGFIXED CAPITALFORECASTSFOREIGN CURRENCYFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN TRADEFORESTRYFRAUDFREE TRADEFUTURE GROWTHGDPGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETSGLOBAL TRADEGOVERNMENT BUDGETGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT REVENUEGOVERNMENT REVENUESGOVERNMENT SUPPORTGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATIONGROWTH POTENTIALGROWTH RATEHARMONIZATIONHIGH TRANSPORTHIGHWAYHIGHWAYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSINCOME TAXESINEFFICIENCYINFLATIONINFLATION RATEINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINSPECTIONINSTRUMENTINTEREST PAYMENTSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVENTORYINVESTMENT CLIMATEITCJOINT VENTURESLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLAND REFORMLAND TRANSPORTLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL RIGHTSLETTERS OF CREDITLEVEL OF INFLATIONLEVEL OF RISKLEVIESMACROECONOMIC CONTEXTMACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTMACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENTMACROECONOMIC POLICYMARKET DATAMARKET INFORMATIONMARKET SHAREMICRO-FINANCEMICRO-FINANCE INSTITUTIONSMICROFINANCEMICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONSMINESMONETARY INSTRUMENTSMONETARY POLICYMONOPOLYNATIONAL TRANSPORTNATURAL RESOURCESOILOVERVALUATIONPARTIAL CREDITPASTURESPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPOLLUTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPRESENT VALUEPRICE INCREASESPRIVATE BANKSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPRIVATE INVESTORSPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRODUCERSPROPERTY OWNERSPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT USERSPUBLIC WORKSRAILRAILWAYREAL GDPREGIONAL INTEGRATIONREGIONAL TRADEREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESERVERESERVESRETURNROADROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD TRANSPORTROUTERURAL CREDITSAFETYSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSETTLEMENTSETTLEMENT OF TRADESHARE OF INVESTMENTSHAREHOLDERSOIL DEGRADATIONSTRATEGIC INVESTORSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTAXTAX RATESTAX REGIMETAX REVENUETAX REVENUESTAX SYSTEMTAXATIONTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETERMS OF TRADETOLLTOTAL REVENUETRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE POLICYTRADE RELATIONSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSITTRANSIT TRADETRANSPARENCYTRANSPARENCY INITIATIVETRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORTATIONTRUCKSTRUEUNDERESTIMATESVALUE ADDEDVEHICLESWAGESWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSE RECEIPTSWEALTHWTOWorld Bank10.1596/2976
