Acknowledgments
Services for Trade Competitiveness: Country and Regional Assessments of Services Trade is a product of the Trade and Regional Integration Unit of the Macroeconomics, Trade and Investment Global Practice of the World Bank. Edited by Claire H. Hollweg and Sebastián Sáez, it is based on a compilation of studies on services trade undertaken by staff and consultants of the Trade and Regional Integration Unit since 2013 to support World Bank country teams and their clients. The editors would like to thank Michael Ferrantino, Gaurav Nayyar, and Nadia Rocha, who peer-reviewed the manuscript and provided value suggestions. Tanya Cubbins and Shiny Jaison helped format the volume. We are grateful to Barbara Karni for editing the book and to Cindy Fisher and Stefanie Heim from the World Bank’s Publishing Program for overseeing publication and dissemination. The book would not have been possible without the guidance and support of the staff of the Trade and Regional Integration Unit and its management team, including Manuela Francisco (practice manager), Caroline Freund (director), Anabel Gonzalez (senior director), Esperanza Lasagabaster (practice manager), Antonio Nucifora (practice manager), Jose Reis (practice manager), Klaus Tilmes (director), as well as the financial support of the Umbrella Facility for Trade Trust Fund. Finally, we acknowledge the collaborative effort of a large team of people who supported and helped deliver the chapters, but we leave these acknowledgments to the contributing authors’ respective chapters.
