The Global Enablng Trade Report 2010
Engaging in international trade has long been viewed as key to national prosperity and
well-being. In the current context of the global economic crisis, further enabling trade
across borders will be essential to strengthening the forces that drive recovery, just as
trade has played a central role in spreading the downturn across the globe.
Against this background, The Global Enabling Trade Report 2010 measures and analyzes
institutions, policies, and services enabling trade in national economies around the world,
highlighting for policymakers a countrys strengths and the challenges to be addressed.
The Report includes the most current data and recent analysis of the factors enabling
trade in industrialized and emerging economies.
The Report presents the rankings of the Enabling Trade Index (ETI), developed by the
The Global Enabling Trade Report 2010

Report
2010
World Economic Forum in collaboration with international trade experts and leaders
from the logistics and transport industry. It is a comprehensive index intended to
capture the full range of issues that contribute to impeding trade, ranking nations
according to factors that facilitate the free flow of goods across national borders and
to destination. The printed short version of the Report contains detailed profiles for 23
selected countries, while the full electronic version details the results for all 125
economies covered4 more than last year.
Written in a nontechnical language and style, the Report appeals to a broad audience that
includes policymakers, business leaders, and members of the academic community. It
provides a yardstick to measure the extent to which countries have in place the
necessary attributes for facilitating the free flow of goods, and it aims to provoke
dialogue among stakeholders about how best to improve the situation to offset the
present crisis and, ultimately, raise the prosperity of the worlds citizens.

A special thank you to Hope Steele for her

excellent editing work and Neil Weinberg for
his superb graphic design and layout.
The terms country and nation as used in this
Report do not in all cases refer to a territorial
entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice. The terms cover
well-defined, geographically self-contained
economic areas that may not be states but
for which statistical data are maintained on a
separate and independent basis.

Preface
ROBERT GREENHILL
Chief Business Officer, World Economic Forum
The Global Enabling Trade Report 2010 is being released

at a time when global trade is recovering from the
deepest slump it has experienced since World War II.
Events over the past half decade have tested the international trading system in many ways. Trade flows reached
historic highs in April 2008, only to see their sharpest
drop in generations a few months later.Yet, despite initial
concerns, determined not to repeat the mistakes of the
Great Depression, governments for the most part resisted
protectionist pressures. As a result, the turnaround has
been remarkable. Following a decline of 12.2 percent in
2009, the World Trade Organization (WTO) estimates
that trade will rebound by 10 percent in 2010.
The sharp contraction in trade volumes during the
economic crisis served as a reminder of the crucial role
trade plays for economic growth and poverty reduction.
There is no doubt that, in the same way trade has contributed to spreading the downturn across the globe, it
can foster the nascent recovery. Policymakers can support
this process by reducing domestic barriers to trade. By
doing so, governments will benefit not only their own
economies, but also those of their trading partners,
thereby contributing to a virtuous cycle of recovery. In
recent years, market uncertainties have also highlighted
the importance of smoothing the path between buyers
and sellers and reducing the cost and uncertainty of the
transaction itself.
The Global Enabling Trade Reports assessment of
obstacles to trade continues to provide a timely
reminder of the fundamental attributes that govern a
nations ability to fully benefit from trade. These are
captured in the Enabling Trade Index, which stands at
the core of this Report and includes four broad categories:
market access, border administration, transport and
telecommunications infrastructure, and the business
environment.
The Report offers a foundation for stimulating
dialogue, providing a yardstick of the extent to which
countries enjoy the factors facilitating the free flow of
goods and identifying areas where improvements are
most needed. By ranking countries according to the
barriers to trade they have in place, the Report continues
to serve as a reminder of the widespread prosperity
increase and poverty reduction associated with the
expansion of international trade in the recent past.
The Report is a result of work undertaken within
the context of the World Economic Forums Industry
Partnership Programme for the Logistics and Transport

Industry. Over the past two years, the Forum has engaged
key industry leaders, academics, and international organizations active in the trade arena to identify the main
obstacles to trading across borders and to develop the
Enabling Trade Index. Following refinements to the Index
in last years edition, this years focus lies in analyzing the
evolution in country-level performance over time.
The Report is downloadable from
www.weforum.org/getr and contains detailed profiles
for all 125 economies covered by the study, of which 23
are included in the printed edition. The profiles provide
an overview of the results on all indicators included in
the Enabling Trade Index.
The Global Enabling Trade Report would not have
been possible without the distinguished academics and
practitioners who have shared with us their knowledge
and experience. We thank our Data Partnersthe
Global Express Association (GEA), the International Air
Transport Association (IATA), the International Trade
Centre (ITC), the United Nations Conference on Trade
and Development (UNCTAD), The World Bank, and
the World Trade Organization (WTO) for making traderelated data available. We are grateful to the Industry
Partners supporting this ReportAgility, Brightstar
Corp., Deutsche Post DHL, FedEx, GeoPost, Stena,
TNT, Transnet, UPS, and Volkswagen.
We also wish to thank the lead authors of this
volume, Robert Z. Lawrence of Harvard University and
Margareta Drzeniek Hanouz from the World Economic
Forum for their commitment and leadership, and Sean
Doherty, Thierry Geiger, and Eva Trujillo Herrera for
their contributions. And we would like to express our

The Enabling Trade Index Results
CHAPTER 1.1
Fostering Recovery by
Facilitating Trade: The Enabling
Trade Index 2010
ROBERT Z. LAWRENCE, Harvard University

THIERRY GEIGER, and EVA TRUJILLO HERRERA,
World trade is recovering from the deepest recession

seen since World War IIindeed, declines in trade have
been greater than for similar periods during the Great
Depression.1 Although the World Trade Organization
(WTO) still forecasts that it could take several years for
trade volumes to recover and surpass their 2008 peaks,
the process of recovery has clearly accelerated. In fact,
according to the WTO, in 2010 the volume of world
trade is expected to grow at a rate of 9.5 percent.2
Many studies have confirmed that the dominant
reason for the decline in trade values was not increased
protectionism but rather the drop in demand that resulted from simultaneous and interactive reactions around
the world to the failure of Lehman Brothers.3 This precipitous drop in demand had adverse effects both on the
prices of widely traded primary commodities and on
the volume of trade, which the WTO reports fell by
12.2 percent in 2009. Trade is double and treble counted
as products pass from country to country along global
supply chains. As a result of these chains, a decline in
orders for imports in one country can reduce exports
and imports in several others. It is also striking that the
drop in services trade has typically been much smaller
than the drop in goods trade. Goods are generally storable. The particularly large drops in the volume of finished and intermediate manufactured goods trade reflect
the fact that purchases of these products can be postponed or cancelled when demand dries up. As a result, a
drop in demand leaves sellers with unwanted inventories
that have to be worked off before new orders are
placed. This is not the case for services. In 2009, orders
for goods picked up and the recovery is now evident
both in higher commodity prices and increased trade
volumes; full recovery, however, will require a renewal in
durable goods purchases.
As a result of these changes in trade flows, traders
around the world have seen a rollercoaster ride of transport costs over the last few years. Prices mounted and
bottlenecks sprung up as strong trade flows tested capacity limits. This was followed by a dramatic drop as the
entry of new capacity coincided with savage cuts in trade
volumes. More recently, the restocking of inventories,
the adoption of slow-steaming by carriers, and general
economic brightening have led to rising transport rates.
The deep drop in global trade between 2008 and
2009 represented a real-world stress test for the global
trading system. It also provides an opportunity to examine whether the progress toward a more open global
trading system made in previous decades is likely to be
permanent. The evidence is not all yet in, and a final
judgment can be given only when the recovery is complete, but overall the evidence justifies a tentative answer
in the affirmative.
The authors would like to thank Xavier Pichot from the International
Trade Centre for compiling data used in the preparation of this chapter.
1.1: Fostering Recovery by Facilitating Trade
Restraint in protectionist measures

There are of course many examples of countries taking
measures that discriminate against foreign firms and
products. Pressures from high unemployment do raise
demands for protection, and government stabilization
measures such as stimulus packages and bailouts have
created opportunities to supply it. In addition, there are
various legal forms of administered protection that can
be applied through procedures such as anti-dumping
duties, countervailing duties, and safeguards.
The most extensive monitoring of such actions is
being undertaken by the Global Trade Alert (GTA), a
group of independent analysts located in many countries. In their report, issued in December 2009, they
document almost 300 measures that they classify as
being of a beggar-thy-neighbor nature that had been
implemented in the first post-crisis year.4 Of these
measures, 32 percent involved the discriminatory use
of bailouts and state aids. Another 20 percent took the
form of administered protection through anti-dumping
and countervailing duties. Support for this latter finding
of increases in administered protection is provided by
other data: the 2009 total number of industry requests
for trade barriers (140 product-level requests) was 20
percent higher than the total requests filed for 2008
(115), which itself was 35 percent higher than the total
requests filed in 2007 (81). In all these cases, an important question is the appropriate benchmark against
which these actions should be judged. For example,
although there has obviously been an increase in both
requests and implementations of anti-dumping, these
had actually fallen quite considerably through 2007 and,
even with the recent increases, still remain considerably
below levels typical in the period around 2000. All told,
therefore, even in this area, the response is quite in line
with the historic norms for recessionswhich is actually
heartening given the depth and pervasiveness of the
current recession.5
The most impressive restraint, however, has come in
the area of market access. The international response has
been remarkable and suggests a widespread and politically
durable consensus on the desirability of maintaining open
trade in most countries. Only a seventh of all the measures detected by the GTA have involved higher tariffs,
and there are numerous examples of both unilateral and
regional trade liberalization. For example, despite the
recession, the WTO was notified by its members that 14
new regional agreements came into force in 2009. This
was quite in line with the average of 13 additional
regional agreements that have been concluded annually
since 2000.
The underlying tariff data used for this Report
confirm this impression. We were able to isolate 73
countries in our sample for which we had complete
tariff data for both 2008 and 2009; we weighted these
using 2007 trade weights to explore changes over this
period in both agricultural and industrial tariffs. For the
most part, the tariff changes were remarkably small.

Indeed, average tariffs in the sample as a whole were
basically unchanged, and there were actually small
declines on average in agriculture. There were some
exceptions, however. In particular, average tariffs in both
Brazil and Argentina rose by three percentage points
primarily because of increases in industrial tariffs. On
the other hand, there were noteworthy declines in
average tariffsin the order of one to two percentage
pointsin Mauritius, Nigeria, Mexico, Iceland, and
Ukraine. These countries were able to reduce their
tariffs in both agriculture and industrya particularly
impressive performance in the current environment.
To some extent, the absence of tariff hikes indicates
the power of the multilateral trading system based on
rules. This argument can be made in the case of industrial countries. However, many developing countries
are actually not constrained by these rules since the rates
they apply are far lower than the rates they are legally
obliged not to exceed. In 2009, for example, the average
MFN rate at which tariffs are bound for the countries
in our sample was 31.3 percentalmost four times
higher than the average rates actually applied. Apparently
most developing countries have chosen not to raise their
tariffs, not because of legal obligations but rather
because they consider their current applied rates to be
appropriate even in the current circumstances.
Credit should also be given to the prevalence of a
global norm of not raising tariffs. A virtuous cycle has
emerged. Discipline in avoiding protectionist tariff
measures by some has led to more restrained behavior
by others. The pledges of the Group of Twenty (G-20)
countries reflect and underscore the widespread intellectual acceptance of the importance of avoiding protection
and have helped to reinforce this behavior. In addition,
political forces for open trade are at work. Increased
interdependence helps offset protectionist pressures. The
dependence of many domestic firms on imported inputs
creates domestic constituents that have much to lose
from higher barriers.
This outcome is a remarkable contrast with the
behavior exhibited in the 1930s, when countries
responded to the higher tariffs of their trading partners
by raising tariffs at home. In the 1930s, widespread
use of specific tariffs with set monetary values also
exacerbated the situation because these became more
restrictive when commodity prices fell. The promotion
of ad-valorem tariffs through the WTO has helped
limit this impact in the current situation.
Factors that enable trade

The Global Enabling Trade Report is motivated by the
view that, in addition to trade policy, trade is enabled
by a broader set of factors captured by our three other
pillars. Besides trade policy, the Enabling Trade Index
(ETI), as discussed in depth below, assesses border
administration, transportation and communications, and

the general business environment. There are examples
this year of some remarkable improvements in these
other pillars. While most countries did not experience
large changes in their rankings, the greatest improvements in border administration, for example, were
recorded by Cyprus (up 18 places, from 47th to 29th)
because of an improvement in the efficiency of its
import-export procedures and Ecuador (up 15 places,
from 107th to 92nd) because of more efficient customs
administration. In the area of transportation and communication, the greatest improvements in rankings took
place in Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Madagascar. And
there have been notable improvements in the business
environment in Poland, Macedonia, and Lesotho.
While the aggregate data, especially for tariffs, look
good, in each of our categories we also find countries
that are slipping. As indicated earlier, tariffs have been
raised by some countries. Not all countries improved
their border administration. The largest declines in rankings in this subindex are found in Syria and Tunisia,
both reflecting declines in customs efficiency. Some
countries have fallen behind in transportation and communications, with the largest declines for Burkina Faso,
Uganda, India, and Sri Lanka, mainly caused by deteriorating perceptions regarding the quality of transport
infrastructure. And business environments generally have
declined relatively, reflecting poor physical security in
Greece,6 Honduras, and Madagascar. Lagging in business
environment were Korea and Malaysia.
The ETI tracks actions that governments can take
to enable trade, and considerable room remains for additional measures that could stimulate trade. In the short
run, these would contribute to the recovery; over the
long run, they would enhance economic growth and
welfare. The Doha Round remains at an impasse. A successful conclusion would be the single most important
step that could be taken in the current circumstances to
ensure a more open global trading system that would
provide benefits to all WTO members. In addition to the
Round, there are many other actions beyond reducing
border barriers that can be taken to help spur trade.
Particularly for developing countries, these merit significant attention. Market access is insufficient for stimulating exports by the least developed countries. Indeed, the
ETI indicates that these countries already benefit from
relatively low trade barriers for their exports. Instead,
their supply-side capacity needs to be enhanced. This
requires improvements both in infrastructure and in
institutions. In some cases, countries can act with respect
to their tariffs and regulations through government
action without incurring major expenses. But in other
casessuch as improving the operation of the information systems available for customs, the quality of roads
and communications, or the capacity and skills of public
officialsadditional financial resources are required. And
this suggests the importance of increasing Aid for Trade,

as set forth in the Doha Round.
Just as trade was a key force spreading the growth
slowdown internationally, so can trade be an important
driver in diffusing the benefits of recovery internationally.
When individual countries enable trade, they provide
benefits not only to themselves but also to other nations
with which they trade. Improved market access, more
efficient customs, and better infrastructure and business
environments offer enhanced opportunities for both
importers and exporters. Thus granting Aid for Trade to
help nations implement such measures reflects enlightened
self-interest because it enhances welfare in recipient
countries and their trading partners.
The Enabling Trade Index

The Enabling Trade Index (ETI) was developed within
the context of the World Economic Forums Industry
Partnership Programme for the Logistics and Transport
sector and was first published in The Global Enabling
Trade Report 2008. A number of Data Partners have
collaborated in this effort: the Global Express
Association (GEA), the International Air Transport
Association (IATA), the International Trade Centre
(ITC), the United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD), the World Bank, and the
WTO. We have also received significant input from
companies that are part of the World Economic Forums
Industry Partnership Programme for the Logistics and
Transportation sector, namely Agility, Brightstar Corp.,
Deutsche Post DHL, FedEx, GeoPost, Stena, TNT,
Transnet, UPS, and Volkswagen.
The ETI measures the extent to which individual
economies have developed institutions, policies, and services
facilitating the free flow of goods over borders and to destination.7 The structure of the Index reflects the main
enablers of trade, breaking them into four overall issue
areas, captured in the subindexes:
1. The market access subindex measures the extent to
which the policy framework of the country
welcomes foreign goods into the economy and
enables access to foreign markets for its
exporters.
2. The border administration subindex assesses the
extent to which the administration at the border
facilitates the entry and exit of goods.
3. The transport and communications infrastructure
subindex takes into account whether the country
has in place the transport and communications
infrastructure necessary to facilitate the movement of goods within the economy and across
the border.
4. The business environment subindex looks at
the quality of governance as well as at the overarching regulatory and security environment
Box 1: Incorporating trade agreements and trade preferences in the Enabling Trade Index
Over the past 20 years, preferential trading agreements (PTAs)
have become a key feature of the global trading system. Over
this period the number of agreements notified to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) increased more than sixfold and
account for about two-thirds of world trade today. Some 462
agreements had been notified to the WTO by February 2010,
and all WTO member countries bar one, Mongolia, belong to at
least one PTA. In addition, as trade is an important instrument
for fostering economic development, many developing countries
benefit from unilaterally granted trade preferences, such as the
Generalized System of Preference (GSP) programs operated by
the European Union and the United States.
Many aspects of trade liberalization are more feasible in
smaller country groupings that share common interests than at
the multilateral level. PTAs therefore foster deeper integration
among the concerned countries. In general, the reduction or
abolition of tariffs between two countries expands trade
between the parties.1 From an individual country perspective,
therefore, PTAs tend to enable trade. In fact, the only trade
regime that is economically more beneficial to a country than
multilateral liberalization is full liberalization of domestic barriers with preferential access to markets abroad.2
At the same time, however, preferential agreements have
a number of downsides. They make it more difficult for businesses to navigate the trade regime and may disadvantage
third countries, which can make them undesirable from a global
perspective. They may also induce countries that confer preferences to import from less-efficient preference beneficiaries at
the expense of more-efficient producers from non-recipient
countries. The WTO, which is concerned with multilateral liberalization, recognizes that, although PTAs contradict the principle
of equal treatment of all trading partners, these agreements can
support the multilateral trading system by deepening integration
and paving the way for further liberalization.3 For this reason,
the WTO framework allows these preferential agreements, but
only if they facilitate trade within the groupthey are required
to cover substantially all trade and must not raise tariffs
toward the outside world.4
All things consideredbecause the Enabling Trade
Index (ETI) measures how far countries enable trade from their
individual perspectives, and given the importance of trade preferences for many developing countries in providing access to
foreign marketsa measure assessing the preferential margin
in target markets (indicator 1.06, margin of preference in destination markets) was included in the foreign market access
component of the ETI.
Notes
1 However, such tariff reduction may not lead to higher welfare
because trade may be diverted from the most-efficient producer in
a third country to a less-efficient one in the PTA.
2 This type of agreement provides access to markets that are
protected by another country, so that domestic businesses obtain
an advantage vis--vis third-country exporters. An additional advantage comes from the fact that the cost of protection is borne by
the consumers of the other country.
3 See WTO "Understanding the WTO."
4 See WTO "Understanding the WTO." From a dynamic perspective,
PTAs can contribute to advancing multilateral liberalization because
they can prepare the ground for it if successful restructuring
toward a more open economy takes place. This restructuring can
alter the balance of political interests within the country toward
free trade. In some cases, however, PTAs can make multilateral
liberalization less attractive, if their aims are not economic. And
in some cases PTAs can be economically more beneficial than
multilateral agreements, as partners can be chosen to maximize
welfare.

Each of these four subindexes is composed in turn
of a number of pillars of enabling trade, of which there
are nine in all. These are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Domestic and foreign market access

Efficiency of customs administration
Efficiency of import-export procedures
Transparency of border administration
Availability and quality of transport
infrastructure
Availability and quality of transport services
Availability and use of ICTs
Regulatory environment
Physical security
The domestic and foreign market access pillar measures the level of protection of an economys markets, the
quality of its trade regime, and the level of protection
that a countrys exporters face in their target markets.
The measures taken into account include not only tariffs
and non-tariff measures imposed by a country on all
imported goods,8 but also the share of goods imported
duty-free, the variance of tariffs, the frequency of tariff
peaks, the number of distinct tariffs, and the share of
specific tariffs. Protection in foreign markets is captured
by tariffs faced, but also by the margin of preference in
target markets negotiated through bilateral or regional
agreements. Box 1 discusses in more detail the rationale
for including the preference margin in the Index.
The efficiency of customs administration pillar measures the efficiency of customs procedures as perceived
by the private sector, as well as the extent of services
provided by customs authorities and related agencies.
The efficiency of import-export procedures pillar
extends beyond the customs administration and assesses
the effectiveness and efficiency of clearance processes by
customs as well as related border control agencies, the
number of days and documents required to import and
export goods, and the total official cost associated with
importing as well as exporting, excluding tariffs and
trade taxes.
Given the significant hindrance that corruption can
provide in trade, the transparency of border administration
pillar assesses the pervasiveness of undocumented extra
payments or bribes connected with imports and exports,
as well as overall perceived degree of corruption in each
country.
The availability and quality of transport infrastructure
pillar measures the state of transport infrastructure across
all modes of transport in each economy, as demonstrated
by the density of airports, the percentage of paved roads,
as well as the extent of transshipment connections available to shippers from each country. Also captured is the
quality of all types of transport infrastructure, including

air, rail, roads, and ports.9
The availability and quality of transport services
pillar complements the assessment of infrastructure by
taking into account the amount and the quality of services available for shipment, including the quantity of
services provided by liner companies, the ability to track
and trace international shipments, the timeliness of shipments in reaching destination, general postal efficiency,
and the overall competence of the local logistics industry (e.g., transport operators, customs brokers). This pillar
also takes into account the degree of openness of the
transport-related sectors as measured by countries commitments made under the General Agreement on Trade
in Services (GATS).
Given the increasing importance of information
and communication technologies (ICTs) for the management of shipments, as well as the central role these
technologies play in facilitating customs clearance and
communication, the availability and use of ICTs pillar
includes the penetration rates of these tools, such as
mobile phones and the Internet, in each country. We
add measures of the perceived use of Internet by business for buying and selling goods and an index of the
availability of government online services.
The regulatory environment pillar captures the extent
to which the economys regulatory environment is conducive to trade. Included are indicators that capture the
general quality of governance, but also the openness to
foreign participation, which covers the ease of hiring
foreign labor in the country (important for companies
moving goods across borders), the extent to which the
policy environment encourages foreign direct investment, the restrictiveness of capital controls, and an index
of multilateral treaties pertaining to trade signed by the
country.
The security environment is of great importance
for ensuring the delivery of goods to destination without major frictions. In this context, the physical security
pillar specifically gauges the countrys level of violence
(both in terms of general crime and violence as well as
the threat of terrorism), as well as the reliability of the
police services in their ability to enforce law and order.
Each of these pillars is made up of a number of
individual variables. The dataset includes both hard data
and survey data from the World Economic Forums
Executive Opinion Survey (Survey). The hard data were
obtained from publicly available sources and international organizations (for example, the ITC, UNCTAD,
the World Bank, and the WTO). The Survey is carried
out annually by the World Economic Forum among top
business executives in all economies covered by our
research. It captures their views on the business environment and provides unique data on many qualitative
aspects of the broader business environment, including a
number of specific issues related to trade. For detailed

descriptions of all the indicators included, please see the
Technical Notes and Sources at the end of this Report.
The nine pillars are grouped into the four
subindexes described above,10 as shown in Figure 1, and
the overall score for each country is derived as an
unweighted average of the subindexes. The details of the
composition of the ETI are shown in the Appendix.
As econometric tests of the ETI 2009 demonstrated, the Index has explanatory power with respect to an
economys trade performance.11 The analysis has shown
that a 1 percent increase in the ETI score in the exporting country is associated with an increase of 1.7 percent
in its exports. This effect is even higher with respect to
the importing country: the model predicts that a 1 percent improvement in the ETI score would lead to a 2.3
percent rise in imports. Taken together, these two effects
predict that a 1 percent increase in the average ETI score
of any given country pair would be associated with a 4
percent increase in bilateral trade, all else being equal.
Changes to the Index methodology

The Index methodology has undergone only minor
changes this year, which do not inhibit the ability to
compare these results with those of the 2009 edition of
the Report. In the first pillar, the weighting was adjusted
from averaging across the six indicators to a hierarchical
approach. This means that first the averages for domestic
market access and for foreign market access are calculated;
in turn, these figures are then averaged to calculate the

pillar score. This does not affect the results except for
those countries for which data for some of the indicators were not available. In the 5th pillar, the indicator
measuring road congestion was dropped because it was
too strongly correlated with the land area of countries.
In the 7th pillar, the firm-level technology absorption
variable was replaced by an indicator capturing the business usage of the Internet, and an index of government
online services was added to proxy the extent to which
governments use ICTs in their delivery of trade-related
services. Finally, in the 8th pillar, an index assessing
financial-sector performance was added,12 and we also
reintroduced the Index of Multilateral Treaties, based on
the International Trade Centres LegaCarta Database,
previously included in the 2008 edition of the ETI.
Country coverage
The overall country coverage has increased from 121 to
125 economies in this years ETI. Five new countries
were added to the Index, as relevant data became available: Botswana, Georgia, Iceland, Montenegro, and
Serbia. Unfortunately, Moldova could not be covered
this year, as data from the Survey were not available.

markets. Singapore continues to lead the way by a large
margin, as measured by its score compared with secondranked Hong Kong SAR. The composition of the top
10 is similar to that of last year with two notable exceptions: New Zealand (6th, up five places) and
Luxembourg (9th, up four ranks) displace Finland (12th)
and Austria (14th), respectively. As in previous years,
Nordic countries feature prominently in the ranking:
Denmark is 3rd, followed by Sweden (4th) and Norway
(7th), while Iceland (11th)covered for the first time
stands at the doorstep of the top 10. Notwithstanding
some movement in the rankings and the widening gap
between the two frontrunners and the rest of the
cohort, the scores within the top 10 remain remarkably
stable.
Singapore continues to lead the ETI rankings by
maintaining its outstanding performance across the
board. The city-state comes in 1st position on no less
than five out of the nine pillars, and features in the top
10 on 43 out of the 56 indicators composing the ETI.
As a small economy, Singapore has a very open trade
policy and exporters face only a few barriers in target
markets. The trade-weighted applied tariff rate amounts
to almost zero (0.03 percent, the second lowest), as 99.9
percent of imports enter duty-free and Singapores
exporters face an average tariff in destination markets of
4.5 percent, the second-lowest rate after Chile.13
Singapore also is rewarded for the extreme simplicity of
its tariff structure, ranking 4th on this indicator, just a
few places behind leading Hong Kong. These two are
the only high-income economies within the top 30 on
this indicator.
Singapores border administration is top notch in
every respect. The country tops the customs services
index with the maximum score of 12, and the Doing
Business study reveals that importing and exporting
goods requires little paper work (four documents on
average), is swift (three to five days on average), and
inexpensive. The estimated cost of US$450 per container is less than half the average of high-income
economies and the lowest in the sample. As in previous
years, the assessment of the quality and availability of
transport infrastructure is equally excellent. Singapore
leads the way for the quality of air transport, seaport,
and road infrastructure. On measures related to connectivity, as well as timeliness, ease and affordability of shipments, and logistics competence, Singapore places at or
near the top. Against these excellent results, the 16th
rank of Singapore in terms of overall ICT penetration

points to some room for improvement. For example,
there are 22 broadband users per 100 population in
Singapore, less than half the rate of Sweden.
More generally, and as highlighted repeatedly,
including in the World Economic Forums Global
Competitiveness Report and Global Information Technology
Report series, Singapore offers a supportive business
environment that contributes to making it one of the
major trade hubs worldwide. The levels of corruption
are the lowest among the countries covered, financial
markets are world-class (2nd), and policymaking is perceived as the most efficient. The economy is also open
to foreign participation (2nd), although it would benefit
from more openness to multilateral trade rules (54th).
Placed 2nd, Hong Kong SAR continues to deliver consistently strong performance across the components of the ETI, ranking no lower than 16th in any of
the pillars, yet not at the top of any. Hong Kongs commitment to free trade is shown in the absence of trade
barriers in the domestic market. The territory achieves
the highest possible score on all the indicators comprising this pillar and, therefore, obtains a perfect score of 7
in the pillar. Despite its openness to incoming trade,
exporters from Hong Kong face the highest trade barriers in their target markets within the ETI sample. The
trade-weighted tariff rate amounts to 6.2 percent.
Hong Kongs 1st place in the quality of transport
infrastructure reflects outstanding infrastructure facilities
available across the four main transport modes: air (2nd),
sea (2nd), rail (3rd), and road (3rd). With regard to transport by sea, the territory has direct routes to many
countries and for non-direct routes the number of
transshipments required is minimal. Finally, Hong Kong
offers a very conducive environment for business (6th).
In particular, the efficiency of its financial sector is rated
as second to none, as is its openness to foreign participation.
Up one rank from last year, Denmark moves into
3rd position. The best ranked of the Nordics does very
well on three out of the four components of the ETI. It
ranks 3rd behind Singapore and Hong Kong for the
efficiency of its border administration. It gets excellent
marks for the efficiency, transparency, and rapidity of
customs clearance procedures, although importing and
exporting goods remain very costly. With its very dense
ICT penetration, Denmark leads the way when it comes
to ICT infrastructure.14 By the same token, the quality
of transport infrastructure is world-class, despite limited
connectivity by sea. Also among Denmarks strengths is
the quality of its business environment (3rd). Yet the gap
with its two predecessors in the overall ETI rankings
remains sizeable because of Denmarks rather mediocre
performance in the market access component, where it
ranks 95th. Denmark, as all other European Union (EU)
member countries, owes this low position to the highly
complex common external tariff schedule of the
European Union (96th) and the frequent recourse to

non-tariff measures (68th). In addition, while tariffs
applied by the European Union are very low (4th), its
members still face average tariffs of close to 6 percent in
destination markets.
Sweden, ranked 4th, posts a performance similar
to Denmarks. Also up one notch from last year, the
country stands out for its highly efficient and transparent
border administration, as reflected in the 2nd rank
(after Singapore) in the related subindex. Another area
of strength is its excellent ICT infrastructure, where it
ranks 1st thanks to the extensive use of Internet by
businesses, the most dense penetration of broadband
connections in the sample (41 subscribers per 100 population), and universal use of mobile telephony. Finally,
Sweden offers a regulatory framework that is remarkably
conducive to trade (2nd), characterized by extremely high
ethical standards in the public and private sectors (3rd), a
very efficient government (3rd), well-functioning financial markets (4th), and a high degree of openness to foreign participation (7th), although the hiring of foreign
labor remains rather difficult (49th). By contrast, the
highly complex tariff structure and the prevalence of
non-tariff measures make Sweden, as other EU members, a laggard in the market access component (96th).
Down two positions, Switzerland (5th) fares very
well in most of the dimensions of the ETI, with some
notable exceptions within the market access component.
Switzerland ranks last among the 125 economies for the
complexity of tariffs. The country applies a staggering
6,662 distinct tariffs, while the count for second-to-last
Russia amounts to 1,921. Moreover, over 82 percent of
all tariff lines bear a specific tariff. Yet, this complexity
seems to apply only to a limited share of trade, since
almost 90 percent (9th highest share) of all imports to
Switzerland are duty-free. Turning to border administration, there remains some room for improvement for
making procedures less costly, burdensome, and time
consuming on both the export and import ends. For
example, exporting a standardized container costs
US$1,537 (96th) on average, three times more than in
Singapore. Switzerland boasts excellent infrastructure for
roads, railroads, and air transport, although the fact that
the country is landlocked results in relatively poor connectivity to maritime routes. Switzerland partially compensates for its disadvantageous geographical position by
striving for high performance in transport services
(13th): its logistics competence as well as its tracking
and tracing ability are second to none, as measured by
the Logistics Perception Index. Continuing on this
positive note, the regulatory environment is extremely
supportive to business activity and trade with a great
degree of openness to foreign participation (6th).
New Zealand progresses by five positions to 6th
rank. New Zealand leads the transparency pillar of the
border administration component (5th) although it
underperforms on some specific indicators, including
the fees, number of documents, and time associated with

exporting and importing goods. Partly because of its
remoteness and small size, the availability and quality of
transport services (39th) are limited as reflected by New
Zealands low ranking on the Liner Shipping Connectivity
Index (68th) and transshipment connectivity index
(49th). On a more positive note, New Zealand offers a
favorable business environment (11th), scoring high on
all indicators entering this variable except the openness
to foreign participation (48th).
The third of the Nordics, Norway (7th) sees no
change in its overall score and rank. The country does
generally better in the market access component than
its neighboring EU members Denmark and Sweden,
although it ranks third to last on the index of tariff
complexity.
Losing two ranks, Canada (8th) is the largest
country in the top 10. Canada owes its good positioning
to a consistently good performance across the board,
ranking no lower than 30th in any of the nine pillars of
the ETI. Yet there is room for improvement, as Canada
places below the top 10 on many of the pillars. The
country does better than many advanced economies in
the market access component (25th) of the Index,
despite a complex tariff structure (83rd), which is partly
the result of the great variance in tariff rates (115th).
Within the border administration pillar, some barriers
persist, such as very high average costs to export (100th)
and import (91st) goods, and relatively burdensome
customs procedures (30th). On a more positive note,
Canada boasts good transport infrastructure and services,
including good connectivity, as well as very high ICT
penetration (11th). Moreover, Canada offers one of the
most conducive business environments (18th), thanks to
a favorable regulatory environment (14th).
Luxembourg improves four ranks to reach 9th
position. The most positive aspect is the quality of
transport and ICT infrastructure, in which Luxembourg
places 3rd, behind neighboring Germany and the
United Kingdom. More generally, the Duchy offers a
very safe environment (6th) and a very supportive
regulatory framework (5th), due to efficient policymaking (4th), a mature financial sector (8th), high ethical
standards (6th), as well as one of the highest degrees of
openness to foreign participation (3rd). In particular, the
business community recognizes the high prevalence of
foreign ownership in the countrys economy (5th), the
ease for employers to hire foreign labor (4th), and the
relative mobility of capital flows (11th). Less positive and
uneven is the performance in the border administration
component (20th). While customs clearance procedures
are generally efficient, importing goods remains expensive (US$1,420), and Luxembourg receives a rather low
score on the customs services index (6 points out of 12,
76th).
Closing the top 10, the Netherlands (10th) retains
its position with the same score as last year. Border
21
administration and the quality and availability of transport and logistics services are the strongest aspects of the
countrys performance. The Netherlands customs offers
the necessary services to business (5th) and importing
and exporting goods is hassle-free and swift (11th on
the efficiency of import-export procedures), while transport services are assessed as the 2nd best in the world in
terms of availability and quality. Moreover, the countrys
connectivity with the rest of the world via maritime
routes is among the best (3rd), which is not surprising
given that the country hosts Europes main maritime
gateway, the Port of Rotterdam. By the same token, the
quality of port infrastructure is assessed as among the
worlds best (3rd). The assessment is somewhat less positive when it comes to specific aspects of the regulatory
environment and physical security. Trade would benefit
from easier rules and regulations for hiring foreign labor
(42nd) and from better protection from common crime
and violence (54th).
Asia and Pacific
22
The Asia and Pacific region is host to some of the

fastest-growing and largest economies worldwide. Many
of the countries in the region have greatly benefited
from trade and made it a central part of their growth
strategy. It is estimated that over the period 201014,
almost 50 percent of global growth will take place in
Asia. The developing countries in the region are growing faster than the global economy, and will account for
the largest share of that global growth42 percent of
it.15 Over the same period, trade in goods from, to, and
within the region will grow by 9 percent annually and
account for 40 percent of global merchandise trade.16
In the ETI, there is a wide gap between frontrunners
Singapore, Hong Kong, and New Zealand, and the rest
of the region; many agree that Asia has yet to fully
leverage the opportunities offered, in particular by trade,
in the region. This is reflected in the results of the ETI.
Except for the top 10 and Australia (15th), countries stay
outside the top 20, with China hovering around the 50
mark and India at a low 84th.
Australia ranks 15th as a result of good performance across the board, although leaving some room for
improvement in specific areas, such as market access
where the country places 63rd. Access to the domestic
market remains hampered by tariffs close to 4 percent;
these apply to a large share of imports (45 percent).17
Australian exports face some of the highest tariffs, 6
percent, and the margin of preferenceat less than 3
percentis extremely narrow. The quality of border
administration has improved significantly (14th),
although ample room for improvement remains as to
the time, costs, and paperwork associated with exporting
and importing goods. Some facets of Australias transport
infrastructure (32nd) are in need of improvement; maritime transport is the most worrisome, especially given
the countrys remoteness. The country ranks 46th for
the quality of seaport infrastructure, and 27th and 33rd

on the transshipment connectivity index and Liner
Shipping Connectivity Index, respectively. Finally, the
business environment is fairly good (19th). Yet, among
the various issues affecting their international operations,
the business community cites the difficulty of hiring
foreign labor (91st) and somewhat restrictive rules on
FDI (51st), as well as the costs incurred by the threat of
terrorism (77th) and by crime and violence (45th).
Japan, at 25th, loses two positions. The country
has one of the most protected domestic markets in the
entire sample. At 25.3 percent (111th), import tariffs on
agricultural products move toward prohibitive levels; in
addition, the market is protected by frequent recourse to
non-tariff measures. The highly complex tariff schedule
(93rd) is difficult to navigate for business as a result of
the variance and the large number of distinct tariffs. The
openness to foreign participation is limited (77th), as
manifested in the difficulty of hiring of foreign labor;
restrictive rules on FDI; and, consequently, infrequent
foreign participation. At the same time, Japans border
administration is transparent and efficient, albeit businesses
express concerns about the burden of customs procedures.
Last but not least, the quality of transport-related services
is world-class (4th), with the most efficient postal service
worldwide and high level of logistics competence (7th).
At the same time, the assessment of the quality of transport infrastructure is less somewhat positive (20th) and
mixed across the different modes of transport. Although
the quality of railroads is world-class (2nd), air transport
infrastructure lags behind the worlds best (48th).
With its score unchanged from last year, Korea
(27th) drops one position, displaying a mixed performance across the four main components of the ETI.
Korea remains a laggard in the market access component
(111th), imposing some of the highest tariffs on agricultural imports in the sample (44 percent, followed only
by Norway, Morocco, and Turkey). Koreas tariff structure is characterized by very high tariffs on a few selected agricultural products (e.g., dairy products), as reflected in the third-highest variance of tariffs in the sample.
On the export side, Korean products face some of the
highest tariffs in the world and are granted only very
narrow preference margins. On a more positive note,
Korea achieves high marks for the quality and availability of its transport and communications infrastructure
(15th, up six positions) and to a lesser extent border
administration (24th). In particular, the country boasts
excellent connectivity through maritime routes and
world-class shipping services. In addition, railroad infrastructure is also very well rated (8th overall) and Korea
also possesses one of the worlds best and densest ICT
infrastructures (6th). The government is among the most
active in promoting ICT, for example, through putting
online services in place. Korea obtains the best score in
the sample in the Government Online Service Index, an
assessment of the extent and quality of the governments
online offer. Border administration and import-export

procedures are efficient, smooth, and swift, though
relatively costly. More problematic is the quality of the
general business environment. In this component, Korea
ranks a middling 44th, owing to the negative assessment
by the business community of such critical factors as the
efficiency of government policymaking and the financial
market, corruption, and the countrys openness to foreign
investment.
The fourth and lowest-ranked member of the Tigers
quartet, Taiwan, China (28th), loses three positions,
although its main strength and weaknesses remain in
line with the previous edition of this Report. Market
access is by far the weakest area (106th), whereas Taiwan
obtains good to excellent marks on most indicators
having to do with the quality of transport infrastructure
(15th) and related services (24th), and ICT infrastructure
(14th). The business environment is also fairly conducive
to trade (31st), with one major shortcoming in the
openness to foreign participation (66th).
Following closely, Malaysia (30th) maintains its
position within the top 30. The country ranks fairly
high in the market access (31st) and infrastructure (24th)
components. Transport infrastructure is of high quality
(19th) and widely available (9th), and the related services
are well developed (17th). Border clearance procedures
are the least costly in the world and businesses assess
them as fairly hassle-free, although many documents are
necessary. However, against this positive assessment, it
has to be noted that the quality of the business environment has deteriorated considerably since the last assessment. Malaysia loses ground in all 10 indicators of this
component, falling from 33rd to 51st position. In particular, the costs associated with crime and violence and
the threat of terrorism are on the rise. Yet the regulatory
framework remains fairly propitious (35th) thanks to
efficient financial markets (10th), solid property rights
(34th), and strong domestic competition (32nd).
China, the worlds largest exporter and one of its
fastest-growing countries, progresses one rank to 48th
position; it ranks 3rd within the lower-middle-income
country group. Although considerable room for
improvement remains in every component of the Index,
Chinas performance appears in a different light when
compared with its BRIC peers. India, its closest contender, lags 36 places behind at 84th, followed by Brazil
at 87th, while Russia follows at a much lower 114th.
The availability and quality of transport services
constitute the main areas of strength for China (18th).
In particular, the country tops the Liner Shipping
Connectivity Index and obtains very good and improving scores on most of the other indicators in this category. By contrast, transport infrastructure (57th) still
presents major shortcomings, in particular with respect
to air and sea transport infrastructure. Chinas customs
procedures are assessed as fairly efficient (33rd), especially
when compared with the other BRIC economiesthe
closest being India, at 72nd. Average fees associated with

importing and exporting goods are among the worlds
lowest (3rd), at US$545 and US$500 per container,
respectively. However, the time required to complete
these procedures ranges from 21 to 24 days, far longer
than in Singapore, for example (3 to 5 days). While
being fairly efficient, border administration remains
subject to irregular payments and corruption, as reflected
in Chinas results on the related variable (51st) and the
65th position in the Corruption Perceptions Index.
China ranks 79th on the market access component,
owing to the high import tariffs of 11.8 percent (108th)
it levies as well as the very narrow margin of preference
(122nd) granted in destination markets. Finally, the quality of the Chinese business environment, the fourth
main component of the ETI, improved somewhat (41st,
up eight notches), but important constraints persist with
respect to the efficiency of the financial sector (73rd)
and some aspects of the openness to foreign participation (50th), including the restrictions placed on international capital flows (117th).
Indonesia, at 68th, improves its score but retains
the same position in the rankings. At 68th, it does better
than most of its peers of the lower-middle-income
group. The most positive aspects of Indonesias performance are found in the regulatory framework pillar (48th).
In particular, the country receives good marks for the
efficiency of its financial sector (29th) and of government
policymaking (46th), as well as for some measures of
the countrys openness to foreign participation (52nd),
including the prevalence of foreign ownership (40th),
rules on FDI (38th), and restrictions on capital flows
(32nd). The assessment is more negative regarding security (76th), another key determinant of the quality of
the overall environment: Indonesia ranks 82nd for the
costs associated with the threat of terrorism and 74th for
the reliability of the police, in line with the average for
the country group. Overall, the quality of Indonesias
transport infrastructure, including roads and seaports, is
second rate (80th) and airport density is low (0.3,
100th). The availability and quality of transport services
(73rd), though improving, are not satisfactory. In this
context, the 48th and 38th ranks obtained in the transshipment connectivity index and the Liner Shipping
Connectivity Index, respectively, are encouraging. ICT
infrastructure remains largely underdeveloped (90th),
with very sparse Internet usage and a very limited
government online presence. Border administration also
offers a mixed picture. Customs procedures associated
with importing and exporting are relatively inexpensive
and require little paperwork, but they still take a lot of
time by international standards, and border administration remains marred by corruption (88th).
Vietnam posts one of the biggest progressions
among all countries, leaping 18 places to 71st position.
The improvements in the countrys trade environment
reflect Vietnams commitments following the countrys
23
24
recent accession to the WTO (in 2007), which is leading

to a significant liberalization of trade in goods and services over the phase-in period to 2012. This is reflected
in the ETI in Vietnams improved ranking in the market
access component (50th). Despite progress made,Vietnams
tariff schedule remains complex in some respects. The
area of biggest concern, however, is in border administration. Recent efforts to streamline the efficiency of
the countrys customs led to a 10-place improvement
in the related category, albeit from a low base (107th).
Simultaneously, the low rank of 104th for the transparency of border administration indicates room for
improvement in this area. Trade could be further
enabled by upgrading the countrys transport infrastructure, which is in a dire state (103rd). Low airport density
(104th), poor road quality (95th), and insufficiently
developed port facilities (93rd) indicate that the booming economy is straining the countrys infrastructure.
The assessment of transport services is much more
positive. Vietnam improves its scores on all indicators
composing this category and ranks 31st. Finally, Vietnam
achieves mixed results in the business environment
component (64th). Openness to foreign participation is
limited because of the low prevalence of foreign ownership (102nd) and limited participation in multilateral
trade rules (102nd), and despite the openness toward
FDI (26th) and foreign labor (46th).
India ranks a low 84th, owing to a mixed performance in the ETI. Among the nine pillars of the Index,
the countrys highest ranking is 47thin the regulatory
environment pillarand it attains only a very low 115th
on the market access pillar. The domestic market is protected through tariffs of 13 percent on average (115th),
which are particularly high for agricultural products (40
percent, 121st). Further, only 17 percent of all imports
enter the country free of duty (112th). Adding to the
costs, the structure of tariffs is difficult to navigate (89th)
because of the large dispersion of tariffs (107th) and the
high number of distinct tariffs (94th), including many
specific tariffs (90th). Trade is also impeded by customs
procedures, which remain largely inefficient (72nd). In
addition, exporting and importing require much time
and paperwork to clear goods at the border, and the
process is plagued by corruption and bribery (82nd).
Indias good connectivity and some aspects of Indias
general regulatory environment (47th) brighten somewhat this rather bleak assessment.
Other than the Philippines, at 92nd, the other
countries in the region are found below the 100 mark
with Pakistan at 112th, followed by Bangladesh
(113th), Mongolia (116th), and Nepal (118th).
Europe and North America
Germany, which has just been surpassed by China as

the worlds largest exporter, is the highest ranked among
the large economies in terms of enabling trade, and
placed 13th after losing one rank compared with last
year. As is the case in all EU member countries, Germany

provides fairly strong protection to agricultural markets
through non-tariff barriers (73rd) and a highly complex
tariff structure that protects a small number of mainly
agricultural products. As in many other developed countries, tariffs faced by Germany abroad are fairly high in
international comparison (76th), but the country performs very well on all the other pillars of the ETI
except for the efficiency of border administration, where
it ranks 20th. Irregular payments in exports and imports
also appear to be more prevalent (24th) than could be
expected from a country with a very strong regulatory
environment (15th). Further disadvantages include difficulties in hiring foreign labor (86th) and restrictions on
FDI (67th). However, Germanys excellent transport
infrastructure (5th) and the high quality of the related
services (3rd) compensate for these weaknesses.
Dropping three places, the United States is ranked
19th this year. The countrys performance has fallen in
international comparison in almost all areas assessed by
the Index, bar the regulatory environment and physical
security. Although some progress has been achieved in
absolute terms, this has not been sufficient to lead to an
improvement in the rankings. There has been a deterioration by 13 places of the market access component,
placing the country 62nd. Most aspects measuring the
state of trade policy in the United States have remained
unchanged, with the exception of a very small increase
in the complexity of tariffs, yet US exporters appear to
be facing higher tariffs abroad and benefiting from lower
preference margin than in previous years. Overall, the
United States continues to benefit from hassle-free
import and export procedures (17th) and efficient customs clearance (11th), and provides excellent customs
services to business (3rd).The country also benefits from
excellent infrastructure, including ICTs, providing a
strong basis for enabling trade within the country.
However, over the past year, the United States has fallen
behind in two crucial categories of opennessbusiness
leaders perceive that the rules and regulations both for
hiring foreign labor and for encouraging foreign direct
investment have become more restrictive, falling by 18
and 17 places, respectively, to 62nd and 64th position.
And as in the previous year, the threat of terrorism to
business, at 114th, remains among the costliest in the
world.
France places 20th in this years ETI, down by
three positions. As for other European countries, market
access has slightly deteriorated mainly because of higher
barriers faced by exporters abroad. There has also been a
decline in the transparency of the border administration.
The countrys overall trade environment remains characterized by high barriers to the domestic market by means
of non-tariff measures and highly complex, although
low, tariffs, which apply to a significant portion of
imports. Access to foreign markets remains limited with
fairly high tariffs faced and low margins of preference in
place. Nevertheless, Frances transport infrastructure plays

an important role in facilitating trade: it is second to
none, widely available, and of excellent quality. The
high-quality transport services, ranked 10th, also play
a key role in supporting the countrys trade performance. Businesses operate in a largely suitable regulatory
environment (24th), with the only drawbacks being
restrictive regulations on hiring foreign labor and
encouraging FDI, ranked at 90th and 62nd, respectively.
Physical security is not a major disadvantage (35th),
although the threat of terrorism continues to pose some
costs to business (70th).
The Russian Federation slides by five places to
obtain a very low 114th position in this years ETI.
Despite pledges of the G-20 not to increase protectionism following the financial crisis, Russia has fallen to the
last place in the entire sample on the market access
subindex. Although the average weighted tariff rate
declined, non-tariff measures are being used more
frequently than in previous years and the complexity of
the tariff structure has increased somewhat. Yet the bulk
of the decline can be traced to higher tariffs in target
markets faced by Russias exporters, which are among
the highest worldwide (102nd). Russian exporters are
clearly suffering from the countrys decision not to
pursue accession to the WTO. Russias low ranking
obscures to a certain extent the strengths of its trade
environment. Given the countrys level of development,
transport infrastructure remains in fairly good condition,
although its availability is assessed more positively (at
31st) than its quality (at 74th). Furthermore, Russia
continues benefit from the availability of ICTs in the
context of trade, with the use of these technologies
spreading quickly by both businesses and government.
On the other hand, enabling trade in Russia would
require an overhaul of the import export procedures
(110th) and reform of what is one of the most burdensome customs clearance processes in the world (122nd).
Russia also obtains poor marks for its regulatory environment (110th), which bears witness to the countrys
rather protectionist stance with regard to foreign participation (ranked 115th). And although physical security is
moderate (ranked 68th for the business cost of common
crime and violence), business leaders do not trust the
police for enforcing law and order (105th).
Latin America and the Caribbean
With some notable exceptionssuch as Chile and

Costa Rica, which display very strong performances
Latin American and Caribbean countries place for the
most part in the middle of the ETI rankings. As highlighted in past editions of this Report, the regions outstanding domestic and foreign market access continues to
be the main strength of many of its countries. However,
the overall business environment remains an area for
improvement, particularly in terms of corruption and
physical security.
At 18th, Chile improves by one position, once

again leading the ETI rankings in Latin America and the
Caribbean. Chiles strong commitment to participating
in international trade is demonstrated by its extended
participation in regional trade agreements (RTAs), along
with the governments continuous efforts to improve the
countrys facilitation of trade.18 Displaying an extraordinary performance in the area of market access (2nd),
Chile benefits from both its high share of duty-free
imports (16th) and the low tariffs (1st) faced by Chilean
exporters. Likewise, Chile applies an almost uniform
MFN tariff (a rate of 6 percent with only a few exceptions) to all its importers,19 a measure that has helped to
reduce the complexity of the countrys tariff structure
(2nd). The countrys overall assessment of border administration (23rd) is also positive because of its transparency (20th) and efficiency (21st). Furthermore, Chile is
characterized by seamless customs procedures (5th), as
well as little corruption related to exports and imports
(16th). In fact, during the past few years, Chile has made
significant efforts toward the modernization of its customs
regime through the introduction of new measures such
as the advance publication of regulations, the computerization of procedures, and the creation of a customs
tribunal.20 But, despite these advances, its clearance procedures remain time consuming and cumbersome. With
regard to Chiles communications infrastructure, the still
modest availability and use of ICTs in the country
(46th) indicates room for improvement. On the other
hand, the country received a sound general assessment
of its transport infrastructure (28th), thanks in large part
to the excellent quality of its roads (15th), ports (24th),
and air transportation (17th). Last but not least, Chiles
favorable business environment (26th) has also been key
to the countrys success in benefiting from trade.
Costa Rica, ranked 44th for enabling trade across
borders, is down one position in this edition of the
Report. As a big contributor to national GDP, trade plays
a significant role in Costa Ricas social and economic
development strategies. For this reason, the government
pays special attention to trade policy and considers it a
crucial tool for economic growth and social equity. As
in the case of Chile, Costa Rica is an example of best
practices in market access (7th), thanks to moderate
non-tariff measures (21st) and relatively simple tariff
structure (35th). Consequently, the countrys market
access is assessed favourably at 37th.21 Costa Rica also
has experienced recent improvements concerning the
efficiency of its import-export procedures. For example,
the time required to import goods dropped from 25 to
15 days, and the number of documents needed to
import and export both decreased by one, with only 7
and 6 documents now required, respectively. In addition,
Costa Ricas border administration is considered to be
reasonably efficient (34th), even though some difficulties
were identified by the business community regarding
irregular payments in imports and exports (60th). On a
25
26
less positive note, Costa Rica would benefit from upgrading the quality of its transport and communications
infrastructure (78th). In particular, the quality of roads
and ports needs to be improved (ranked 100th and
121st, respectively), and ICTs are still not widely
available or used (ranked 71st).
Mexico comes in at 64th place, moving up in the
ETI rankings by 10 positions. Mexico considers trade
facilitation and global integration to be areas of focus in
its national competitiveness plan 20082012. Among the
main trade-related policies is the intention to make a
thorough analysis of existing tariff rates to avoid discrepancies and reduce tariff dispersion, as well as the elimination of those tariffs affecting goods with low volumes
of trade; as for non-tariff measures, simplification and
automatization processes are under way.22 One of the
main areas of improvement identified is Mexicos
domestic and foreign market access (22nd), as the country
significantly increased its share of duty-free imports
(11th) while keeping tariffs relatively low (25th).
Likewise, the availability and quality of Mexicos transport infrastructure also improved greatly, climbing 24
positions up to 61st place. Concerning transport services,
advantages such as the competence of the logistics
industry (43rd), the ability to track shipments (44th), and
the timeliness of shipments reaching destination (51st)
also helped Mexicos overall performance. Last, Mexicos
business environment (106th) is still assessed poorly as a
consequence of low levels of physical security (114th),
limited reliability of police services (116th), and high
business costs of crime and violence (117th). Meanwhile,
the regulatory environment pillar (77th) captures how,
despite Mexicos openness to foreign participation
(40th), the country is strongly affected by both corruption (92nd) and low levels of domestic competition
(105th).
Brazil maintains its 87th position in the ETI. A
G-20 member and major exporter of agricultural products, the country has been much involved in global
trade negotiations, representing the interests of both
MERCOSUR and developing countries more generally.23
Despite the importance of trade for its economy, Brazils
main weakness remains high and rising protectionism, as
captured by the market access pillar (104th). This is
mainly due to high tariffs (105th), which are imposed
on the vast majority of imports (90th) as well as to the
prevalence of non-tariff measures (79th). The border
administration could also be made more efficient (80th),
particularly in areas such as customs administration,
which remains burdensome (115th), and the overall cost
of import and export procedures (81st and 97th, respectively). The overall assessment of Brazils infrastructure is
fairly positive (66th), although the quality of transport
infrastructure could be improved (105th), especially the
countrys ports (120th). Brazil also displays some strength
with regard to the quality and availability of its transport
services (42nd) as well as the availability and use of
ICTs (54th). As it is the case for other countries in the

region, the general business environment (83rd) could
be improved by being more open to foreign participation (83rd) and by reducing the business costs of crime
and violence (111th).
Argentina, at 95th, improves by two positions,
presenting a mixed picture across the different areas of
the ETI. In order to improve its trade performance,
Argentina should address different aspects affecting the
countrys business environment (109th). In particular,
regulations affecting property rights (117th), domestic
competition (121st), and openness to foreign participation (103rd) increase the difficulty of doing business in
the country. At the border, procedures are perceived as a
burden by businesses (117th), who encounter difficulties
in areas related to the efficiency of import-export procedures (86th), such as the high cost of importing goods
(100th, with US$1,810 in fees on a 20-foot container)
and numerous documents required to export (106th).
Other areas of concern include a lack of transparency
at the border (96th), related to the frequent irregular
payments in exports and imports (100th). Similar to
Brazil, the high and increasing tariff rates (98th) and the
pervasive non-trade barriers (85th) continue to affect
Argentinas ability to trade, although tariffs faced by
exporters in Argentina (32nd) are relatively easy to overcome, allowing them to introduce their products in global
markets. Among the countrys strengths are transport
and communications infrastructure (61st) and the availability and use of ICTs (49th). In fact, the Argentinean
government provides many online services (42nd), and,
similarly, businesses use the Internet to carry out commercial transactions (55th).
Middle East and North Africa
Over the past year, all countries from the region bar
threeAlgeria, Morocco, and Jordanhave improved
their position in the ETI. The region continues a high
degree of diversity in terms of enabling trade, with the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) entering the top 20 while
Algeria maintains its position at the bottom of the
rankings.
The United Arab Emirates leads the region at a
very strong 16th position, ahead of the United Kingdom,
Chile, and the United States. The country improved by
two positions over the past year by building on its
strengths. Clearance of goods at the border, already efficient in previous years, has become even easier in international comparison (12th), although the assessment of
the transparency of border administration (at 21st) lags
behind these excellent results somewhat. In terms of the
availability and quality of transport infrastructure, the
UAE moves up to be among the best countries in the
world (4th). Another distinct advantage, high levels of
physical security (4th), has been equally strengthened.
All these factors provide a basis for further strong
growth of trade in the country and a strengthening of
its positioning as a key international logistics hub.

Despite progress achieved in these areas, if transport
services were further developed and liberalized, the
UAE could further benefit from its favorable geographic
location on the Europe-Asia trade route. The country
presently occupies the 29th position in the related category. The government could equally place higher priority on putting more public services online (88th). This
would not only facilitate trade in a direct wayfor
example, by expediting and facilitating customs clearance through online proceduresbut also would lead
the way in Internet use, given that the business sector
presently lags behind a number of other countries in
this area (27th). However, the main constraint remains
high domestic tariffs (53rd) as well as the high trade
barriers faced by the countrys exporters abroad (117th).
Israel occupies the 3rd position in the region in
terms of enabling trade and 26th worldwide, moving up
by three places this year. The improvement in rankings
mirrors important advances in maintaining physical
security and in increasing the use of ICTs, which on
balance outweigh the deterioration in the efficiency of
customs procedures. Overall, Israels border administration is efficient and transparent compared with that of
many other countries (25th). As last year, the formal
import and export procedures appear de jure fairly
simple, and neither particularly time-consuming nor
very costly. However, in their replies to the Executive
Opinion Survey, business leaders identified customs
procedures as rather burdensome, ranked 64th out of
125 countries. This result, which is significantly lower
than that of last year (when the country ranked 31st)
could point to bottlenecks in the implementation of
official procedures. Other strengths that contribute to
an environment that is conducive to trade are the high
penetration of ICTs, which are widely used by both
businesses for transactions (6th) and the government for
online services (19th). Despite the slight improvement
over the past year, the difficult security situation remains
the most important single drawback in Israels trade
environment; this is ranked 75th overall. In addition, trade
could be further enabled by more efficient transport
services (49th). More openness to foreign participation
(93rd) could also contribute to raising the performance
of this sector by intensifying competition and thereby
raising efficiency and stimulating innovation.
Tunisia, moving up by three positions to 38th,
remains the leading country in North Africa for enabling
trade. The countrys association agreement with the
European Union, which has created a free trade area
between the two traders as of 2008, has contributed
significantly to liberalizing imports into Tunisia.
Nevertheless, Tunisia maintains fairly high tariffs (120th
for the tariff rate), although the complexity has been
reduced over the past year. Tariff peaks and specific
tariffs have been completely eliminated and the share
of duty-free imports rose from 24.1 to 76.3 percent. It
must be noted, however, that the simplification of the

tariff structure was accompanied by more burdensome
customs procedures, which can partially offset the effect
of tariff reforms on trade. Tunisia now ranks 52nd for
the burden of customs procedures. Overall, Tunisia benefits from a business environment that is conducive to
trade (24th) and is supported by a solid institutional
framework and high levels of physical security (20th).
Nevertheless, openness to foreign participation remains
restricted (65th), and a more efficient financial market
(65th) could further contribute to developing trade. The
countrys exporters and importers also benefit from
high-quality and widely available infrastructure across
all modes of transport (37th). Room for improvement
remains with respect to the availability and quality of
transport services (79th), a sector that would benefit
from further liberalization and opening up to foreign
participation. Last but not least, and in contrast to
domestic tariffs, Tunisia enjoys fairly easy access to
foreign markets (41st), supported by an important
preference margin (27th).
Saudi Arabia, up by two positions, occupies the
40th rank. Consistent improvements in all the pillars
except for the market access component contributed
to this result. The efficiency of Saudi Arabias customs
services (27th) and border administration (26th) are
important factors in facilitating trade across the countrys borders. Customs procedures are not very burdensome, and it is not costly to import and export goods,
although it may be time consuming (e.g., it takes 18
days to import goods, which corresponds to 58th rank).
Saudi Arabia also benefits from a solid institutional
framework with transparent (20th) and efficient (31st)
government institutions, well-defined property rights
(32nd), and high levels of domestic competition (16th).
The countrys recent accession to the WTO was an
important step in opening up to foreign participation,
yet Saudi Arabia remains closed to foreign ownership
(101st) and has signed only a small share of tradeenabling multilateral treaties (109th). This applies equally
to the transportation sector, where it did not commit to
opening up significantly under the GATS provisions
(69th). Such a move would support the development
of a more efficient logistics and transport industry in the
country, thereby raising the competitiveness of exports,
which the country wishes to diversify. Other than that,
Saudi Arabias exporters and importers face the same
challenge as in many other countries in the region: high
costs resulting from the threat of terrorism (96th).
Morocco, ranked 75th, sees the most significant
deterioration in rankings this years Report among the
countries from the region. The weaker assessment is
derived from all of the pillars of the ETI. Moroccos
trade policy remained rather protectionist over the past
several years. The country currently ranks 112th on the
market access pillar. A rise in protectionism is indicated
by the steeply declining share of duty-free imports (14th
27
to 85th) and in the rising complexity of the tariff structure (58th to 61st). At the same time, Moroccos exporters
benefit from easy access to their main target markets
(31st), in large part because of a high preference margin
with the European Union. Exports are further enabled
by clearance procedures, which are more efficient for
exports than for imports. For example, it takes 17 days
to import goods, but only 14 to export them. Yet, by
and large, the customs administration is not the most
critical bottleneck, as it is fairly efficient (44th) and provides appropriate services (42nd). Similarly, the quality
and availability of infrastructurein particular railroads
and maritime servicesis an advantage on which to
build. Further fostering Moroccos trade performance
would additionally require continuing the liberalization
process. Openness to foreign participation is limited
(92nd), and Morocco committed to opening up only a
small share of transport-related subsectors under the
GATS agreement (54th). Further liberalization of these
sectors would help improve the quality of transport
services, which currently lags behind many countries
(77th).
Sub-Saharan Africa
28
Sub-Saharan African countries enable trade to different

degrees, and the trade liberalization efforts of recent
decades have not been sufficient to significantly improve
the trade performance of the region as a whole. Many
African countries liberalized trade and enjoy significant
preferences in target markets, but significant improvements in trade facilitation have not yet been achieved.
As a result, it is still significantly more expensive to trade
with Africa than with other regions. In many cases, the
cost of trading is a more important obstacle to trade
development than trade policies.
Mauritius, one of the African countries best harnessing the benefits of international trade, maintains the
top position in sub-Saharan Africa at 33rd place, ahead
of the rest of the region by a wide margin. With very
low tariff and non-tariff barriers and low tariffs in target
markets, the country is among the top performers in the
entire sample on the market access pillar (8th). Yet,
although tariffs are being reduced, complexities in their
structure (85th) make it difficult to navigate for business.
With rather efficient and transparent border agencies,
potential bottlenecks in getting goods across borders
can arise with respect to the availability and quality
of transport services, as well as the quality of transport
infrastructure, ranked 86th and 71st, respectively.
International shipments are easy and not costly to
arrange from Mauritius, but timeliness of delivery, tracking and tracing ability, and overall logistics competence
are low in international comparison (ranked 104th,
93rd, and 91st, respectively). The countrys high level of
openness to foreign participation (16th), be it foreign
labor, FDI, or capital flows, highlights the countrys
commitment to participating in the global economy.
Additionally, Mauritius benefits from, in regional comparison, very transparent and efficient governance structures
and manageable levels of physical security (45th).
The second-highest ranked African country is
Botswana, placed at 53rd as it enters this Report for the
first time. Botswana has made great strides in opening its
market, as shown by its excellent 15th position in terms
of domestic market access. Although the country ranks
68th for its average tariff rate (of 5.6 percent), tariffs are
applied to only a fraction of imports, about 5 percent,
and very few non-tariff measures are in place. On the
other hand, the assessment of access to foreign markets is
less favorable than that of domestic access, ranked 69th
overall. Another key strength, in international comparison, is Botswanas solid institutional framework, with an
efficient government, fair jurisdiction and political decisions, and low levels of corruption, all of which contribute to rendering border administration transparent
(35th) and customs clearance fairly efficient (44th).
Yet, although transparent, the border clearance process
remains somewhat cumbersome, costly, and timeconsuming, for both imports and exports. On the
efficiency of import export procedures pillar, Botswana
ranks a low 111th. Other than import-export procedures,
transport services as well as the availability and use of
ICTs constitute important bottlenecks to trading across
borders in Botswana, and are ranked at 99th and 92nd,
respectively. The countrys logistics services sector is not
on a par with international standards, ranking, for example, 106th for logistics competence. At the same time,
transport infrastructure appears to be available and in
good shape. By making further use of ICTs (114th),
businesses in Botswana could enter new markets abroad.
The government could also foster the use of ICTs by
providing more services online and creating conditions
to develop the necessary infrastructure, such as telephone lines, which are not commonplace in Botswana
(93rd).
South Africa, a G-20 member and the regions
most advanced economy, places 72nd with respect to
enabling trade across borders, down by 11 positions
from last years Report. As the countrys score remained
roughly the same, the drop in rankings indicates that
although South Africas overall situation has not
changed, other countries have advanced. The drop is
mainly attributable to a poorer comparative assessment
of the countrys transport infrastructure and the related
services as well as little progress in the use of ICTs.
Similar to Botswana, South Africa boasts a very efficient
and transparent customs administration (28th and 46th,
respectively) and a fairly strong institutional framework.
It has to be noted, however, that the country is less open
to foreign participation and trade than Botswana, as witnessed by the lower share of duty-free imports (36th),
more restrictive regulations on capital flows (105th), and
FDI (75th). South Africa also has an important number
of non-tariff measures in place. Albeit declining, the
state of transport infrastructure (29th for quality of

infrastructure) and the availability of transport services
receive good assessments. However, the simplification of
import and export procedures appears overdue and
would make trading across the border more efficient, as
their current complexity constitutes the most important
bottleneck. Importing goods into South Africa takes 35
days, requires 9 documents, and costs (for a standardized
container) US$1,807.
Tanzania drops five places this year, to 97th place.
A number of areas are assessed more poorly in this years
edition; in particular, customs clearance has become
more burdensome and progress in ICT availability and
usage is slower than in other countries. Despite the
deterioration since last year Report, market access
remains the key advantage in Tanzanias trade environment. Tanzanian exporters face very low tariffs in target
markets (6th), and the country managed to secure
additional preferential access. Other advantages include
a fairly secure environment and relatively efficient procedures for import and export (77th). However, business
leaders assess customs procedures as extremely cumbersome (113th) the customs administration provides only
very few services to business (110th). And while exporting only requires a few documents (28th), it remains very
time consuming (94th) and costly (77th) given the
countrys level of GDP. Enabling trade in Tanzania will
also necessitate serious investment in transport infrastructure and efforts to encourage the use of ICTs.
Roads, ports, and airports are in poor condition and do
not sufficiently support the countrys participation in
international trade. Last but not least, Tanzania still
imposes some of the highest tariffs in the world, in particular on agricultural products.
Conclusions
This chapter has presented the results of the ETI for
125 countries and analyzed selected economies in
more detail. This methodology, first published in 2008,
measures the ease of getting goods across borders and
to destination. It has been developed by the World
Economic Forum in collaboration with leading companies from the logistics and transportation sectors and
experts from trade-related international organizations.
The Index categorizes the obstacles into four categories:
market access, border administration, transport and communications, and business environment.
The economic crisis has highlighted the importance of trade for the global economy, an importance
that was thrown into relief when trade volumes contracted sharply in its wake. Throughout the crisis there
has been remarkable resilience against the threat of protectionism; this observation is by and large confirmed by
the Index results. Just as trade was key to spreading the
slowdown internationally, so can trade be an important
driver in diffusing the benefits of recovery across the
world, as open borders benefit not only the domestic

economy, but also that economys trading partners.
Against this background, by ranking countries
according to the barriers to trade they currently have in
place, The Global Enabling Trade Report provides key
information on one specific set of measures that could
facilitate recovery. The Report is intended to be a motivator for change and a foundation for dialogue, by providing a yardstick of the extent to which countries have
in place the factors that facilitate the free flow of goods
and identifying areas where improvements are most
needed.

reflects the riots that began at the end of 2008, just a few
months before the Survey was conducted.
7 We have focused on the flow of trade in goods in the Index for
expository purposes, although we recognize that enabling trade in
services, is also important. By circumscribing the issue clearly, the
Index provides a useful vehicle for analyzing policy on a clearly
defined part of the issue. Trade in goods accounts for upward of
80 percent of all trade, and is therefore highly relevant.
8 The methodology used to calculate the weighted average tariff
rate has been updated slightly this year. Weights used for the
aggregation are calculated at the 6-digit level of the harmonized
system (HS6). For countries where subheadings of a HS6 code
(tariff lines) contain both ad valorem duties and specific tariffs,
weights are now allocated equally between them. In the last
edition of the Report the weights used for specific tariffs were
added to the weights of the ad valorem tariffs that pertained to
the same HS6 position. This change has impact on the results for
a few countries, such as Australia, Japan, and Sri Lanka. This
update was necessary because the previous methodology overstated the weights of the few concerned HS6 positions in the
overall average. The data on non-tariff measures are currently
being revised, but the figures were not yet available at the time
of production of this Report. We hope to be able to include an
improved measure of non-tariff barriers in the next edition.

1.1: Enabling Trade in the Global Crisis
Appendix: Composition of the Enabling Trade Index

This appendix provides details about the construction of
the Enabling Trade Index (ETI).
The ETI is composed of four subindexes: the market access subindex; the border administration subindex;
the transport and communications infrastructure
subindex; and the business environment subindex. These
subindexes are, in turn, composed of the nine pillars of
the ETI: domestic and foreign market access, efficiency
of customs administration, efficiency of import-export
procedures, transparency of border administration, availability and quality of transport infrastructure, availability
and quality of transport services, availability and use of
ICTs, regulatory environment, and physical security.
These pillars are calculated on the basis of both hard
data and survey data.
The survey data are mainly derived from the
responses to the World Economic Forums Executive
Opinion Survey and range from 1 to 7. In addition, survey data from the World Banks Logistics Performance
Index (LPI) have also been included. The hard data were
collected from various recognized sources, such as the
World Bank, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the
International Trade Centre (ITC), and the United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).The data are described in detail in the Technical
Notes and Sources section at the end of this Report. All
of the data used in the calculation of the ETI can be
found in the Data Tables on the website of the Report
(www.weforum.org/getr).
The hard data indicators used in the ETI, as well
as the results from the LPI survey, are normalized to a
1-to-7 scale in order to align them with the Executive
Opinion Survey results.1 Each of the pillars has been
calculated as an unweighted average of the individual
component variables. The subindexes are then compounded as unweighted averages of the included pillars.
In the case of the domestic and foreign market
access pillar, which is itself composed of two subpillars
(domestic market access and foreign market access),
the overall pillar is the unweighted average of the two
subpillars. Likewise, in the case of the availability and
quality of transport infrastructure pillar, which is itself
composed of two subpillars (availability of transport
infrastructure and quality of transport infrastructure),
the overall pillar is the unweighted average of the two
subpillars. The overall ETI is then calculated as the
unweighted average of the four subindexes.
The variables and the composition of pillars are
described below. If a variable is one of hard data, this is
indicated in parentheses after the description.

Notes
1 The standard formula for converting each hard data variable to the
1-to-7 scale is
6 x
country score sample minimum

sample maximum sample minimum
+ 1
The sample minimum and sample maximum are the lowest and
highest scores of the overall sample, respectively. For those hard
data variables for which a higher value indicates a worse outcome
(e.g., tariff barriers, road congestion), we rely on a normalization
formula that, in addition to converting the series to a 1-to-7 scale,
reverses it, so that 1 and 7 still correspond to the worst and best
possible outcomes, respectively:
6 x
country score sample minimum

sample maximum sample minimum
+ 7
In some instances, adjustments were made to account for

extreme outliers in the data.
2 Complexity of tariffs is the average of the other four variables.
3 These variables are derived from the World Banks Logistics
Performance Index Survey, which is based on a 1-to-5 scale. LPI
data were normalized to a 1-to-7 scale using the above formula in
order to align it with the Executive Opinion Survey results.
4 These variables are composite indicators comprising multiple
variables used in the World Economic Forum's Global
Competitiveness Index. For details, see the Technical Notes and
Sources at the end of this Report.
5 Openness to foreign participation is the average of the other five
variables.

Key indicators
The first section presents a selection of key indicators:

Population figures are from the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA)s State of World
Population 2009, and surface area data are from the
World Banks World Development Indicators Online
(retrieved March 24, 2010).
All GDP figures are from the International
Monetary Fund (IMF)s World Economic Outlook
Online Database (October 2009 edition).
The chart on the upper right-hand side displays
the evolution of trade volumes and foreign direct
investment (FDI) as a percentage of GDP from
1996 through 2008 (or over the subperiod for
which data are available) for the economy under
review (blue line and bars). The black line represents the evolution of world trade as percentage
of world GDP. Total trade is the sum of total
imports and exports of merchandise and commercial services. Data are from the World Trade
Organization (WTO)s Statistical Database, Time series
on merchandise and commercial services (retrieved
March 23rd, 2010). GDP figures come from the
IMF (ibid). The bars represent the evolution of FDI

inflows as a percentage of GDP. FDI flows with a
negative sign indicate reverse investment or disinvestment, as data on FDI flows are presented on a
net basis (capital transactions credits less debits
between direct investors and their foreign affiliates).
FDI data are from the United Nations Conference
on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)s FDIstat
database (retrieved March 29th, 2010).
Export and import rankings shown to the left of
the chart are for 2007 and based on trade data
obtained from the WTO (ibid). Data for 2007 are
not available for Indonesia, Malawi, Mauritania,
Qatar, and Zimbabwe.
The second section presents selected indicators that aim

to provide an overview of an economys trade profile,
performance, and policies:
Current account balance data are from the IMFs
World Economic Outlook Online Database (October
2009 edition). Merchandise and commercial services trade data come from the WTOs Statistical
Database (retrieved March 29th, 2010).

Data on tariff rates and peaks for agricultural and

non-agricultural products were provided by the
International Trade Centre (ITC). Tariff peaks for
agricultural products and non-agricultural products
represent the share of tariff lines with a tariff peak
in the agricultural sector and the industrial sector,
respectively. A tariff peak is defined as an MFN rate
that is more than three times the simple average
tariff rate.

The first of the two tables on the right-hand side

lists the main destination markets of the economys
exports expressed as a share of its total merchandise
exports. The second table reports the main markets
of origin of the economys imports expressed as a
share of its total merchandise imports. Data are
from the WTO's World Trade Profiles (March 2010
edition). Note that data for Chad and Montenegro
(exports and imports) and Peru (imports only) are
mirror data (i.e., obtained from partner countries
trade data). Mirror data come from the ITCs Trade
Competitiveness Map (retrieved March 29th, 2010).
The bar chart on the right-hand side shows the
breakdown by commodity group (Agriculture, Fuels

ITC was used for Chad (exports and imports) and
Lesotho (imports only). According to the WTOs
International Trade Statistics, the breakdown is as
follows:
Agriculture covers food products (SITC Rev. 3
sections 0, 1, 4, and division 22) and raw materials (SITC Rev. 3 divisions 21, 23, 24, 25, and 26).

Note that the sum of shares does not necessarily
add up to 100 because the world total merchandise
trade includes other commodities and transactions that
are not part of the three main commodity groups
described above. These commodities are gold, arms and
ammunition, and commodities and transactions not classified elsewhere (SITC Rev. 3, section 9).
The bottom section of the left-hand side summarizes

the economys performance on the main components of
the Enabling Trade Index (ETI) 2010, as well as on the
ETI 2009 overall ranking.
Page 2
This page presents the performance (rank and score)

achieved by the economy on each individual indicator
entering the composition of the Enabling Trade Index
(ETI). Indicators are organized by pillar. Please refer to
the Appendix of Chapter 1.1 for the detailed structure
and information about the computation of the ETI.
Units or index ranges are indicated next to the indicators name. Please refer to the Technical Notes and
Sources for a detailed description and sources for all
indicators. The detailed rankings by indicator, the Data

Tables, are available online at www.weforum.org/getr.
Next to the rank, a colored square indicates
whether the indicator constitutes an advantage (the blue
square) or a disadvantage (gray square) for the country.
In order to identify variables as an advantage or disadvantage, the following rules apply:
For the top 10 economies in the overall ETI, any
variables on which the economy is ranked 10th or
higher are considered to be competitive advantages.
Any variables ranked below 10 are considered to be
competitive disadvantages.
Time to export. It takes 5 days on average to

export goods in Denmark, Estonia, and Singapore.
Paved roads. A total of 18 economies have 100
percent of their road network paved: Austria, Czech
Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong
SAR, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Latvia,
Luxembourg, Mauritius, Singapore, Slovenia,
Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, and the United
Kingdom.
For those economies ranked from 11th to 50th on

the overall ETI, any variables with a higher rank
than the economys overall rank are considered to
be competitive advantages. Any variables ranked
equal to, or lower than, the economys overall rank
are competitive disadvantages.
For economies with an overall rank on the ETI
lower than 50, any variables for which the economy
ranks 50th or higher are considered to be competitive advantages. Any variables ranked below 50 are
considered competitive disadvantages.

For the sake of comparison, we report in the two
right-most columns the score and name of the best-performing economy for each indicator. Multiple economies
denotes a tie among several economies for the best score
on a specific indicator. For these indicators, we provide
below the list of best performing economies.
Tariff peaks. A total of 24 economies have no tariff peaks: Albania, Algeria, Bangladesh, Benin,
Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia,
Cameroon, Chad, Cte dIvoire, Ethiopia, Gambia,
Ghana, Hong Kong SAR, Madagascar, Malawi,
Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Paraguay, Senegal,
Tunisia, and Zambia.
Specific tariffs. A total of 44 economies have no
specific tariffs: Albania, Algeria, Benin, Bolivia,

most recent year available
Share of trade, excluding petroleum, that is imported free of
tariff duties, taking into account most-favored nation tariffs and
preferential agreements. Tariff data are from 2009 or most
recent year available, and imports data are from 2008.
1.05 Tariffs faced

1.02 Non-tariff measures
Index of non-tariff measures (NTMs) | 2009 or most recent
year available
This index is constructed as the average of two NTM-related
variables. The variables included are the percentage of trade
affected by non-tariff measures (NTMs) and the average number of notifications for products affected by NTMs, for products
with imports larger than 0. Politically motivated NTMs, such as
embargos, have been excluded.

5.02 Transshipment connectivity index

Type of transshipment connections available to shippers
from each country/economy on bilateral routes (0 = low
connectivity; 100 = high connectivity) | 2008
This index aims at reflecting the geographical aspects of the
liner service supply and is based on the type of connections
between countries ranging from a first- to a fourth-order connection. In the absence of direct liner shipping between two
countries, the cargo will have to be transshipped in a port of a
third or even fourth country in order to reach the destination
country. A first-order connection is a connection without transshipment, a second-order connection is a connection with one
transshipment, and so on. First-order connections have the
most positive impact on cargo movement. Therefore, the type
of connections per country has been weighted as follows: firstorder connections are multiplied by 1.0, second-order connections by 0.5, third-order connections by 0.33, and fourth-order
connections by 0.25. The score is the sum of the four connection types.

8.07 Openness to foreign participation

This variable is calculated as the average of five variables:
Ease of hiring foreign labor, Prevalence of foreign ownership, Business impact of rules on FDI, Restriction on international capital flows, and Openness to multilateral trade
rules.
Ease of hiring foreign labor

the ability to hire foreign labor? (1 = very much limits hiring
foreign labor; 7 = does not limit hiring foreign labor at all) |
2008, 2009

Prevalence of foreign ownership

How prevalent is foreign ownership of companies in your
country? (1 = very rare; 7 = highly prevalent) | 2008, 2009

businesses in your country? (1 = significant costs; 7 = no
costs) | 2008, 2009

FDI; 7 = strongly encourage FDI) | 2008, 2009
2008, 2009
9.03 Business costs of terrorism

Does the threat of terrorism impose costs on businesses in
your country? (1 = significant costs; 7 = no costs) | 2008,
2009
2008, 2009
Restriction on international capital flows

How restrictive are regulations in your country relating to
international capital flows? (1= highly restrictive; 7 = not
restrictive at all) | 2008, 2009
2008, 2009
Openness to multilateral trade rules
296
Openness to multilateral trade rules index (0 = lowest; 100 =

highest) | 2009
This index evaluates the overall participation of countries in multilateral trade rules or instruments (MTRs). These rules are all
internationally elaborated legal standards currently regulating
trade in specific areas. MTRs are primarily comprised of conventions and treaties that countries ratify or accede to, and
international model laws that are incorporated into national law.
The index is based on ITCs LegaCarta system, which analyzes
the position of each country (accession/nonaccession and incorporation/nonincorporation) regarding some 238 MTRs as well as
450 protocols or amendments overseen by 25 different international organizations. For the purposes of this index, 40 core
MTRs were selected, and each was rated with a score depending on its importance and relevance to trade. The 40 core
instruments belong to seven categories (contracts, customs,
dispute resolution, governance, intellectual property, investment, and air transport). Each category is given an equal weight
in the calculation of the index. Selection of the core instruments is based on their importance and relevance to trade and
their universality. The importance and relevance to trade of an
instrument is determined by taking into account several criteria
including: the impact of its provisions on international trade
(reduction of transactional costs, trade facilitation, harmonization, transparency, predictability, creation of a business-friendly
business climate, support of private-sector activities, and
encouragement of foreign direct investment), and the opinion
of international legal experts and the views of the international
bodies administering these instruments. Universality means
that the selected MTRs can potentially be applied by all countries, notwithstanding their geographical position or economic
level. For example, maritime transport conventions, however
important, were not taken into account because of their weak
relevance for landlocked countries; treaties dealing with securities and insider trading were not included because they do not
represent a priority in countries that have not developed sophisticated financial markets. Accession to the WTO Agreements is
not taken into account in this index as WTO accession does not
depend exclusively on the will of a nonmember state to join the
WTO.

9.01 Reliability of police services
To what extent can police services be relied upon to enforce
law and order in your country? (1 = cannot be relied upon
at all; 7 = can always be relied upon) | 2008, 2009

The Global Enablng Trade Report 2010
Engaging in international trade has long been viewed as key to national prosperity and
well-being. In the current context of the global economic crisis, further enabling trade
across borders will be essential to strengthening the forces that drive recovery, just as
trade has played a central role in spreading the downturn across the globe.
Against this background, The Global Enabling Trade Report 2010 measures and analyzes
institutions, policies, and services enabling trade in national economies around the world,
highlighting for policymakers a countrys strengths and the challenges to be addressed.
The Report includes the most current data and recent analysis of the factors enabling
trade in industrialized and emerging economies.
The Report presents the rankings of the Enabling Trade Index (ETI), developed by the
The Global Enabling Trade Report 2010

Report
2010
World Economic Forum in collaboration with international trade experts and leaders
from the logistics and transport industry. It is a comprehensive index intended to
capture the full range of issues that contribute to impeding trade, ranking nations
according to factors that facilitate the free flow of goods across national borders and
to destination. The printed short version of the Report contains detailed profiles for 23
selected countries, while the full electronic version details the results for all 125
economies covered4 more than last year.
Written in a nontechnical language and style, the Report appeals to a broad audience that
includes policymakers, business leaders, and members of the academic community. It
provides a yardstick to measure the extent to which countries have in place the
necessary attributes for facilitating the free flow of goods, and it aims to provoke
dialogue among stakeholders about how best to improve the situation to offset the
present crisis and, ultimately, raise the prosperity of the worlds citizens.
