What are the costs and gains showed by the SIA for the ACP countries?
Due to a lack of consistent and reliable data across the ACP it was not possible to perform quantitative assessments of the welfare costs and gains of the EPAs within the scope of the SIA. However, some sectoral studies such as the study on tourism services in the Caribbean, the study on the horticulture sector in Eastern and Southern Africa and the study on agro-industry in West Africa employed economic modeling techniques to quantify the impacts of like EPA scenarios. The detailed results are provided in each sector / regional study.
