Economists and other experts in the field agree unanimously that the expansion and diversification of foreign trade is one of the issues at the top of the development agenda. There is a deep-rooted and well-founded belief that the growth of the Palestinian economy and its progress towards sustainable development will ultimately depend on the value of its external trade. For this reason the Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute (MAS) gives high priority to the study of this issue. This study aims to review the opportunities that bi- and multi-lateral trade agreements give to Palestinian exporters and importers, and to investigate how these opportunities can be improved through developing and improving the performance of PNA institutions. It has examined the difficulties facing those involved in international trade, and looked for examples of best practice in the experiences of other countries.
