The World Bank has issued preliminary conclusions on an imminent report on the opportunities and challenges presented by DR-CAFTA for boosting long-term growth and reduce poverty. The World Bank is positive about the agreement, explaining that it would lock in benefits offered today under the Caribbean Basin Initiative. But on the other hand, it comments that the magnitude of the positive effects will depend crucially on each country’s ability to take advantage of the opportunities. The report is part of an information package available online at www.worldbank.org/cafta
