In April of this year, the World Bank, in collaboration with TIPS and the Witwatersrand University, hosted a seminar on the implica-tions of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) for Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). The seminar reported on the findings of a major international research project investigating the market, welfare and poverty impacts of a potential DDA.

Building on the seminar discussions, this edition of the Trade & Industry Monitor examines the extent to which various regions, and the world as a whole, could gain from multilateral trade reform over the next decade.
