What “trade reform” actually means (plain English)
-
Tariff rationalization: Cut cascading duties that tax exporters’ inputs.
-
Export diversification: Move beyond textiles into engineering goods, agri-processing, IT services.
-
Logistics & energy costs: Fix ports, customs, and power pricing that erode margins.
-
FX neutrality: Reduce multiple-rate distortions that penalize exporters.
-
Firm-level productivity: Skills, technology adoption, and scale incentives.
These are painful—but unavoidable.
