Introduction This paper provides overview of country specific features of Africa's trade. This report will provide country-specific analyses of Africa's trade (both export and import) in the form of a "Country Analytical Brief (CAB)" that examines changing patterns and the composition of export and import for individual African countries. CABs will also give an overview of trade institutions surrounding these countries and analyze their impact. CABs have been prepared for all the countries in Africa. Export and Import Matrices The novelty of CABs is found in the Export and Import Matrices constructed for individual 53 African countries. These Matrices show the patterns in and the composition of trade of African sub-regions and individual African countries. The Export (Import) Matrix is a matrix of the export (import) share of major export (import) product groups of the country. The grouping is based on the classification system "Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 2" at 1-digit level. Export (Import) share is the share of the export (import) value of specific products to specific trading partners as a percentage of the country's total export (import) to the world. The trading partners in this matrix are the World, the rest of Africa (continent), Asia, the EU, and the US. Cells in the matrix contain the share figure, corresponding absolute export volume, and average annual changes in export (import) volume. Each cell is colored according to the level of share within the respective bilateral total export (import) (high/low) and to the level of annual change (high/low). The Export Matrix of Algeria is shown below as a sample. Notes to the Matrix shown below generally apply to all the Export and Import Matrices. Although base years used for analysis are 1990-1992 for the first period and 1999-2001 for the last period, data in those years are not available for several African countries even taken from trading partners' side. In such cases, different years are chosen for analysis depending on data availability (See Appendix 3 for data availability and base-periods used for analysis).

Colors: =high share, high annual change, =low share, high annual change, =high share, low annual change, where high share is above 2% (20% in the last row and 10% in the last column) and high annual change is above 2%. For this series of analysis, we utilized statistics compiled by the United Nations and maintained in this organization's COMTRADE database. In order to provide overviews of changing patterns and 3 compositions of Africa's trade, Export and Import Matrices have been tabulated based on SITC (Rev. 2) 1-digit level data in the database. Major Export and Import to the EU, the US, and Asia In addition to SITC 1-digit level data, SITC 3-digit level data were also utilized to grasp details of export patterns on a more product-specific basis. Each CAB contains Charts of each country's major export and import to three major trading partners, namely, the EU, the US and Asia. Products are listed in accordance with the ranks of their shares. Shares indicate the shares of individual products in that country's total export towards a specific partner. For instance, in the case of Algeria, this country's export of SITC 333 towards the EU accounts for a 43.5% of its total export towards the EU (See Table 2 in the CAB of Algeria). The lists do not contain products with less than 0.1% shares. WTO Accession and Preferential Trade Arrangements Each CAB contains a Table that shows that country's WTO accession and Preferential Trade Arrangements. Acronyms used in the Tables indicate the following: Africa: CEMAC Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa CMA Common Monetary Area COMESA Common Market for Eastern and Southern African States EAC East African Community ECCAS Economic Community of Central African States ECOWAS Economic Community of West African States SACU Southern African Customs Union SADC Southern African Development Community WAEMUWest African Economic and Monetary Union EU: Cotonou Cotonou Convention EBA Every Thing But Arms Initiative US: AOGA African Growth and Opportunity Act AGOA* AGOA with its Apparel and Textile Benefits Asia: Japan-LDC LDC Preferential Tariffs by Japan Others: EFTA European Free Trade Association Data on Basic Indicators, Domestic Production Structure, and Aid Dependency Each CAB also contains the information on basic indicators, domestic production structure, and aid dependency. The figures are based on the data from the World Development Indicators retrieved in 2003. Since the database is periodically updated, readers should note that the figures in the current CABs may not necessarily coincide with the figures retrieved today even for the same reporting year (i.e., 2001). 2. Notes on Trade Data As pointed out in previous studies on Africa's trade, trade data reported by African countries to the UNCOMTRADE database as well as other official databases in the IMF, the World Bank, and other international organizations are not comprehensive because, among other reasons, many African countries have failed to consistently report their trade statistics. Because of this, for the purpose of maintaining data consistency, we utilized data reported by trading partners (See Appendix 1 for the list of partners.) for all the 53 African countries even though some African countries have been diligent enough to keep regular reporting. 4 In spite of the aforementioned constraints, this series of systematic and detailed analysis based on trade statistics will surely provide a fruitful basis for policy- and strategy-making in trade development. However, we believe that Africa can benefit from being more diligent in their efforts for data-reporting. Unfortunately, many African countries have failed to do routine reporting. In other words, Africa has been lagging behind other regions not only in trade promotion, but also in reporting reliable trade statistics. Therefore, it is imperative for African countries to strengthen their efforts in collecting, accumulating and reporting trade statistics. International donors should also assist African countries in this area as a part of trade-related capacity building. Comparing the figures in the Export and Import Matrices with the figures complied in other official statistics such as the IMF's Direction of Trade (DOT) and International Financial Statistics (IFS), the WB's World Development Indicators (WDI); you will likely find discrepancies among the corresponding figures ( See Appendix 2 and 3). In general, data discrepancies could occur because of the methodology: we used trading partners' import data for African countries' export and vice versa. In principle, countries report their export on an f.o.b. basis and their import on a c.i.f. basis. In utilizing trading partners' data, however, we did not carry out .c.i.f. / f.o.b. adjustment; therefore, in theory, the figures in the Export Matrices could be higher than the figures reported by African countries to the UNCOMTRADE and other official statistics. On the other hand, the figures in the Import Matrices could be lower than the figures reported by African countries to these statistics. In addition to distortion caused by differences between f.o.b. and c.i.f., there are also other reasons for discrepancies and asymmetries of trade data between partner countries. (See Box 1) In addition, discrepancies can be seen between the figures in the Matrices and other official databases of trade data, and even between these databases. In theory, such discrepancies are inevitable because they apply different methodologies for data compilation. For instance, trade data stored in the IMF's IFS are, in general, customs statistics reported by countries without particular processing. On the other hand, trade data stored in the IMF's DOT are processed after being reported by individual countries in order to estimate realistic figures. Notwithstanding such differences of methodologies, however, margins of discrepancies between different databases are minimal as far as developed countries are concerned; developed countries are generally well-equipped with statistical capacity and manage to store and report consistent data to different international databases. In contrast, however, quite a few developing countries have failed to report consistent data to different statistical databases, primarily due to their institutional capacities of statistics. As already pointed out, more than a couple of countries have even failed reporting itself. Product-Specific Trade Data Although statistical discrepancies in international trade data can be adjusted to some extent at the aggregated level, product-specific trade statistics in some cases show rather wide discrepancies between export data and import data. In order to expand the coverage of our analysis, we have consistently used import data of African countries' partners which tends to be more systematic and comprehensive. However, there are some cases where importing countries, for various reasons, do not report their import statistics of particular products from particular countries or report them differently from the way exporting countries report. Products which often involve this type of data inconsistency between exporting and importing countries include oil, gold and diamonds. Readers should be advised that the trade figures in CABs of African countries which export significant amount of such products may have been affected by such problems 5 . 6 3.

On the other hand, Asia remains a minor trade partner. Algeria's export The GDP growth of Algeria has steadily been 2-3% and import to and from Asia account for only 2.52% since its decline in 1993. With the modest and 8.46% respectively. Nevertheless, trade between downward curve of its recent GDP growth, the Algeria and Asia is rapidly growing in both proportion of exports of goods and services to the directions. Algeria' high share, high growth export GDP has consistently been above 20%, climbing to to Asia is petroleum while the country's high share, a peak of 42.5% in 2000. high growth imports from Asia are manufactured items such as machinery and motor cars. Trade Structure Trade Regime Algeria's 1999-2001 average total export value to the world was approximately US$15.6 billion as a Algeria has not gained WTO membership. As far as result of an annual change of 2.47% while the the issue of preferential trade arrangements is country's import have grown only slightly at 0.74% concerned, the EU has been the sole region with as a result of its import compression policy. which a FTA treaty has been concluded so far. There does not appear to be any kind of preferential trade Algeria's major exports are mineral fuels (e.g., arrangements between Algeria and other African petroleum, gas) which accounts for about 95% of its countries, or other OECD countries. This explains total export to the world. None of the remaining why export to the EU makes up 63.27% of Algeria's product groups makes up more than 1% of the total total export to the world. export except chemicals and related products. On the other hand, the country's imports vary.

Among the remaining partner groups, Trade Structure Asia-destined export from Gabon accounts for a relatively high share of 16.93%, and it is also growing the most rapidly at 10.38% per annum. Gabon's 1999-2001 average total export to the world was valued at about US$3.1 billion as a result of an annual increase of 1.88% from the Trade Regime early 1990s. In the meantime, Gabon's import has slightly declined at -0.85% to US$700 Gabon has been granted preferential trade million in the same years.

Although Liberia's GDP growth rate was negative from the late 1980s to the early 1990s According to the Matrices, the EU is the largest because of internal turmoil, it began to recover trading partner for Liberia. However, while after 1995. It reached 100% in 1997, but since ship-related transactions have increased, then has been declining. Liberia's GDP growth Liberia's real export of rubber and wood towards rate reached a stable level at 5.3% in 2001. As the EU has declined in the past decade. In Liberia does not report data on its contrast, Asia-destined export of wood and macroeconomic export, it is difficult to know the rubber has increased over the same period. On importance of exports for its economic growth. the import side, the trade data show that Asia is the largest trading partner. This is because South Trade Structure Korea, Japan and other Asian countries have a number of ships registered under the Liberian flag. Liberia's 1999-2001 average total export value to the world was about US$819 million, having declined at an average annual rate of 5.03% from Trade Regime the early 1990s. In the meantime, the country's 1999-2001 total import value was US$3.8 billion, Liberia has not gained WTO membership, but it having declined at 1.53%. These figures, is a member of the ECOWAS, regional however, should be treated with caution because economic framework in Western Africa. In spite they include transfers of ships' registration as of this regional framework, Liberia's trade transactions. intra-African trade transactions remain minimal.

Next to the EU, Asia Mauritania's GDP has generally grown at a rate comes second also in both directions. Exports of more than 4% since 1993, except for the year destined for the EU and Asia show a stark 1997 when the growth rate slipped down to contrast; while about 70% of EU-destined 3.16%. The ratio of exports of goods and consists of iron ore, more than 85% of services was above 40% from 1990 to 1996, but Asia-destined export is fish. In terms of import, has fallen below 40% since 1997. It was down both the EU and Asia supplies equally divers further to 37.96% in 2001. This downward trend products to Mauritania. can be attributed to sluggish export growth since the mid-1990s. Trade Regime Trade Structure Mauritania is a member of the WTO.

With regard to the EU, Mauritania is extended preferential treatments under the Cotonou Mauritania's major export products are food and Agreement, formerly the Lome convention, and live animals (e.g., fish) and non-oil crude the EBA initiative. These preferential treatments materials (e.g., iron), which respectively account as well as the former colonial tie with France for 50.40% and 47.05% of its total export to the seem to have contributed to the EU's high share world. However, the latter fell slightly at an in Mauritania's export. In relation to the US, average annual change of 0.52% from the early Mauritania became eligible for the AGOA in 1990s whereas the former registered 3.59% 2000; however, the US government reports that annual change. On the import side, food (SITC AGOA-related export accounted for only 4% of 0) and manufactured items (SITC 6 and 7) are Mauritania's total export to the US in 2002. high-share exports. 70 Table 1:

practitioners desire trade data to be accurate for reliable factual analysis and viable policy options. As trade entails two corresponding partners, i.e. exporter and importer, it is assumed that one of the best way to verify the accuracy of trade data is to compare one side's export data with the other side's import data. However, in practice, data of trade flows between partner countries differ for several reasons such as unavoidable reasons like different bases of valuation and time lags; different national systems of recording trade, including conversion practice; and errors in recording of trade data. Bases of Valuation Differences between export and import figures arise because in principle exports are recorded on an f.o.b. basis and imports on a c.i.f. basis. This difference indicates the cost of international freight and insurance. Time Lags The time lag between the departure of exports from the country of origin and their arrival as imports and recording in the receiving country could lead to differences of reported trade data. For instance, at a certain moment, a part of world trade has been recorded by the exporting country but not yet reported by the importing country. If we assume transit takes one month, then a month value of imports is not recorded in that years' trade value by the receiving country while the exporter country reports that value. Furthermore, exchange fluctuation during the transit time could lead to differences in the US$ converted value. National Systems of Recording Trade Discrepancies between export and import figures arise because countries adopt different systems of recording trade. The following four factors are major causes for such discrepancies. The first factor is the use of different trading system. Some countries use the general trading system while others use the special trading system. The special system records the movement of goods after customs clearance, whereas the general system records the movement of goods across national boundaries. The second factor is difference in the definition of partner countries. Most countries record imports as coming from the producing country; however, some countries register them as entering from countries of consignment. Third, some countries exclude certain goods from the trade data while others include those goods. For instance, countries often adopt different approaches for military equipment, gold, second-hand ships and aircraft, electricity, and repaired good that are to returned to the owners. The fourth factor is different conversion practices. Different exchange rates or inappropriate exchange rates are used by either partner of trade for the same consignment. Errors in Recording of Trade Data Asymmetries of trade data could be caused by defective, inconsistent, or unreliable administrative procedures for compiling trade statistics. Further, deliberate or unintended overestimation or under estimation of trade values could also lead to distorted reporting. International organizations well recognize the problems of discrepancies and asymmetries in trade statistics and make efforts to correct such problems. The IMF's statistics department takes corrective measures when they are detected in the DOT data. Furthermore, when its technical assistance missions are sent to developing countries, the countries' trade data are compared with partner data, and if there serious discrepancies, the IMF staff make suggestions for the improvement of recording, valuation, conversion, and classification procedures as necessary. International organizations such as the UN, the OECD, the EUROSTAT, and the IMF have conducted methodological and empirical studies with an aim at the formulation and adoption of corrective measures for asymmetries and discrepancies of trade statistics.

Namibia's GDP growth has been positive, ranging between 2-8% over the past decade. Its In terms of trading partners, Namibia's export is economy registered high growth in the early highly oriented to the EU. Out of the remaining 1990s, and slowed down into the 21st century. In share, Asia's share accounts for 3.55%. In spite Namibia's economic growth, export has been of a small share, Namibia's export to Asia grew playing a significant role as the ratio of exports at 26.46% from 2000 to 2001. On the import of goods and services to the GDP has been side, South Africa is the dominant partner around 50% throughout the past decade. although not reflected in the Import Matrix. Trade Structure Trade Regime The value of Namibia's total export to the world Namibia is a member of the WTO as well as in 2001 was about US$920 million, having regional economic frameworks such as the grown at 65.40% from 2000. In the mean time, SADC, COMESA, SACU and CMA. These according to the Matrix, Namibia's import has regional arrangements have created close increased to US$ 453 million. However, this economic ties with Southern African countries, figure does not properly represent the actual total mainly South Africa. Because Namibia is a import value because Namibia's import from medium income country thanks to its South Africa, which is the dominant import endowment of diamonds, it is not eligible for source of the country, is vastly underreported in LDC initiatives such as the EBA of the EU or the COMTRADE database. In fact, Namibia's LDC preferential tariffs of Japan. trade balance is said to be in persistent deficit. On the other hand, Namibia has been granted Namibia's major exports include material-based preferential treatments under the Cotonou manufactures (e.g., diamonds, copper, zinc) and Agreement, formerly the Lome Convention; thus, food (e.g., processed fish, beef.). Among these it is likely that such preferential measures by the exports, diamonds account for around a 50% EU have contributed to the high growth of share of Namibia's total export; however, this is EU-bound exports. Namibia is also an AGOA not properly reflected in the Export Matrix. country and eligible for its apparel and textile Although diamond is categorized under the benefits; however, noticeable effects

Its Introduction of the Motor Industry Development Programme As one of the few countries with the capacity to develop its automobile industry, South Africa has enjoyed tremendous success in recent years. Thanks to the government's strategy, the automobile industry enjoyed an economic boost and has made a positive contribution to the country's GDP and corporate profits. Exports of automotive components and 1500-3000cc automobiles increased dramatically by 60% from 2001 to 2002 in South Africa, which some leading analysts attribute to the depreciated level of the Rand against the Dollar, Yen and British Pound Sterling. Though external factors might have been of help, this dramatic export growth has been simulated by the introduction of the Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP) by the South Africa government in 1995. The MIDP allows carmakers to offset duties on automotive components imported for the use of exported cars, allowing them to enjoy a much greater economy of scale as exports increase. The MIDP has made South Africa one of the most attractive of the world's emerging markets for automobile manufacturing. Companies such as VW, BMW, Ford, GM, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota and Honda all have substantial investments in the economy in the form of assembly facilities, as well as sales and customer care centers. Due to the expansive growth of auto export, the South African government has already decided to extend the MIDP's expiration date from 2007 to 2012. At present, Germany is the main export market (40% of total auto exports), reflecting how South African component makers have been integrated into the global production networks of German carmakers; namely, BMW, DaimlerChrysler and Volkswagen, all of which assemble cars in South Africa for export to Europe and other overseas markets. These three carmakers account for 97% of total car exports from South Africa. The American market is also becoming a major automobile export market, in part because of BMW's strategy to start exporting over-3,000 cc cars to the US. Increases in car exports from South Africa to the US is attributed to this, rather than the introduction of AGOA, because cars and auto parts have long been granted tariff-free, quota-free access under the General System of Tariff Preferences (GSP) . As far as Asia is concerned, Japan has consistently been among South Africa's top four automobile trading partners in the world, as well as its most important trading partner in Asia. This trade is structured such that South Africa mainly exports primary commodities, especially minerals, to Japan, and in return imports manufactured goods, notably automobiles and electronic goods. Currently, however, such trends have begun to change as South Africa has become an emerging auto exporter to the world. The emergence of South Africa as an auto manufacturer has assisted by Japan. Japan is now one of the largest investors in South Africa, and large amounts of investment have been directed towards auto assembly and related sectors.

imports for Swaziland. throughout the past decade. Its annual GDP growth had been above 3% in the mid-1990s, but Swaziland's largest trading partner is South slowed down to 1.6% in 2001. Swaziland's Africa although it is not properly reflected in the economy has been heavily dependent on exports, Matrices for the reason already mentioned. as reflected by the high ratio of exports of goods Among the remaining trading partners, the EU and services to GDP. and the US are major and growing export markets for Swaziland. On the import side, Trade Structure Swaziland is increasingly acquiring products from Asia. Swaziland's major imports from Asia include motor vehicle and its related materials, Swaziland is highly dependent on South Africa fabrics, food, etc. for its trade. However, this high presence is not reflected in the Export and Import Matrices as South Africa have not reported sufficient data to Trade Regime the UNCOMTRADE database on its trade with Swaziland. In fact, Swaziland's total export Swaziland is a member of the WTO as well as value shown in the Export Matrix is about one several regional economic frameworks in third of the figures presented by the World Southern Africa. Through these regional Bank's WDI and the IMF's IFS. In the same arrangements, Swaziland's economy has been manner, Swaziland's total import value in the deeply integrated into that of South Africa. Import Matrix is about one tenth of the figures reported in these statistics. Swaziland is not eligible for LDC preferential treatments. However, preferential treatments Swaziland's leading exports are soft drink extended under the Cotonou Agreement, concentrates, sugar, and canned fruits as formerly the Lome Convention, seem to have reflected in the Export Matrix. Pulp (SITC 251) contributed to facilitating Swaziland's export to and cotton yarn (SITC 651) are also relatively the EU. In addition, Swaziland is an AGOA high share exports.

In order to grasp the matching of Africa's export and Asia's import compiled these computed data into matrices which indicate the country-by-country matching of Africa-Asia trade on a SITC 4 category basis. First, we estimated the RCA for each African country i for each export product j in the formula described below. Superscript w indicates the world exports of product j. For each African country, we listed up top 30 products by the rankings of RCA in the descending order. These are the products in which African countries have competitive advantages in export. Xijw X ij RCAij = j Xij X w ij j Second, similar fraction (labeled as RCAM) is computed for each Asian country k for each import product m as below. Those products are the ones in which Asian countries have large import demand. RCAM km = Xkm Xkm m X km w X w km m Then, in order to see the matching of each African country's products with high RCAs and Asian countries' demands for those products, Asian countries' RCAMs and their rankings for each African country's top 30 products are shown in a matrix for each African country. In each country's matrix, cells are colored according to the rankings of RCAMs. By doing so, a reader can identify products that have a good matching; that is, products in which African countries have comparative advantages and Asian countries have high demands. In the following pages, RCA/RCAM matrices are shown for each of all the 53 African countries. These matrices will be useful for identifying African countries export products that have high potential needs in the Asian market. Certainly, these matrices themselves provide a good overview of how each African country's export competitiveness matches Asian countries import needs. In addition, because cells of products with high RCAMs are colored, it is instantly clear that the more colored cells are in the matrix, the higher potentials exist for that African country's export towards Asia. However, these matrices do not show whether such potentials have materialized or not, or if materialized, to what extent; therefore, these matrices would be more fluent when utilized together with CABs which show the current and near-past patterns and composition of Africa's export towards 122 Algeria CHINA HONG KONG INDIA INDONESIA JAPAN KOREA MALAYSIA PAKISTAN PHILIPPINES SINGAPORE THAILAND
