经合组织强调美洲贸易便利化的进展与挑战

By Guy José Bendaña-Guerrero & Asociados

经合组织最新发布的《贸易便利化指标》(TFI)报告详细概述了163个经济体为改善边境货物流动、放行和清关所做的努力。报告强调,随着各国努力确保供应链保持高效、韧性并响应不断变化的贸易模式,全球贸易便利化正在稳步推进。

报告的一项重要发现是,边境机构合作——贸易顺畅运作的关键要素——取得了显著进展,尽管这仍然是改革最困难的领域之一。许多国家在建立贸易便利化监管框架方面取得了进展,但在这些框架的实际实施方面仍然存在差距,尤其是在文件和流程自动化方面。经合组织强调,进一步简化和精简边境程序对于降低贸易成本和促进经济增长至关重要。

中美洲以其区域一体化努力而脱颖而出,尤其是通过中美洲数字贸易平台(PDCC)实现的。该平台帮助协调了尼加拉瓜、哥斯达黎加、萨尔瓦多、危地马拉和洪都拉斯等国的数据需求和IT系统,促进了更加统一、高效的跨境贸易方式。

报告还将尼加拉瓜列为2024年美洲地区领先的改革者之一,与该地区其他先进经济体(哥斯达黎加、多米尼加共和国、厄瓜多尔、萨尔瓦多、危地马拉、洪都拉斯、牙买加、巴拉圭和特立尼达和多巴哥)并列。

Dr. Caldera-Pallais in 1964 was a founding member of the Interamerican Association of Intellectual Property (ASIPI), the first regional intellectual property organization in the Americas. The firm continued to grow during the administration of Dr. Franklin Caldera, son of Dr. Caldera-Pallais, who obtained his doctoral degree in law from the Universidad Centroamericana in 1973.
