Authoritative and reliable, this update to the World Economic and Social Survey 2001 offers a unique insight into current trends and policies in the world economy. Essential to both academics and business people, this survey provides an overview of recent performance and short-terms prospects for the world economy and some key global economic policy developments and issues.

The publication examines how six countries (Argentina, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Ethiopia and Viet Nam) have been affected by the elimination of Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMs). The study suggests that the extent to which TRIMs have helped advance the objectives set out has varied considerably, reflecting the specific economic conditions and policy environment of the country using them.
