Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The paper explores the implications of the Uruguay Round agreement for Pakistan's textiles and clothing sector. With the managed trade era in textiles due to be phased out in 2005, it is important that the domestic textiles and clothing industry is prepared for a much more competitive environment, both at home as well as in foreign markets. The phasing-out of MFA type restrictions and other trade barriers is generally expected to have positive effects on Pakistan's exports of textiles and clothing in the long run. (...) The emerging scenario of free trade in textiles and clothing highlights the need to enhance competitiveness in this sector by improving product quality, efficiency of resource use, and productivity. Also, there is need to advance in the reforms and liberalisation of the economy, and to focus public policy towards addressing the structural problems of the textiles and clothing industry with a view to enabling it to compete better in the more competitive international market.
