The survey results indicate that Latin America and the Caribbean has made considerable progress since the previous edition in 2019. For the first time, it is the best performing developing region ahead of East and Southeast Asia, with an average implementation rate of 80%. The region’s results are particularly strong in the categories of transparency and formalities, which coincide closely with the provisions of the Trade Facilitation Agreement of the World Trade Organization. Nevertheless, there is much room for improvement in the area of cross-border paperless trade, as well as in adapting trade facilitation measures to the specific needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and women in trade. specialized / this document has been prepared by Sebastian Herreros, Economic Affairs Officer with the International Trade and Integration Division of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Comercio electrónico América latina comercio digital comercio sostenible comercio internacional innovación tecnológica convenios comerciales https://repositorio.cepal.org/bitstream/handle/11362/47370/1/S2100582_en.pdf https://www.cepal.org/en/publications/47370-digital-and-sustainable-trade-facilitation-latin-america-and-caribbean-regional https://repositorio.cepal.org/bitstream/handle/11362/47370/1/S2100582_en.pdf https://www.cepal.org/en/publications/47370-digital-and-sustainable-trade-facilitation-latin-america-and-caribbean-regional ES-MaONT 211026 20240117091530.0 00006775
