Successful Services Exporting Inspiration

Notwithstanding the fact that the services sector of the Community is the largest in terms of employment, share of total output, and trade, it is characterised by fragmentation of effort and lack of a common focus to increase international competitiveness.

Therefore, it is indispensible that the service sector stakeholders be organised. — His Excellency Edwin Carrington, Secretary General of CARICOM at the launch of the Belize Coalition of Service Providers
