A
Notes on the completion of MARKET ASSESSMENTS
Section I
S
Brief description of the type of market.
a)
Political and economic factors.
The political background should be very brief, especially for developed countries, unless it has a significant bearing on trade prospects (eg protectionist sentiment in the US ·
Congress). The economic factors should include matters like any international debt problems, significant dependence on any particular commodity etc.
b)
ECGD assessment
This is best commissioned by Market Branches from the ECGD
country desks. It is important that they should not include
details of country limits as the assessment papers will
remain unclassified.
c) Prospects for the future
A brief assessment of likely developments (and trends) in the economic and political situation which could affect bilateral trade prospects.
