| dc.description.abstract | Until now, little empirical research exists on the relationship between the revived EAC and the factors influencing performance of Tanzania`s manufactured exports in East African region. This study uses simple descriptive statistics, which is later supplemented with export intensity and export competitiveness indices to determine both, the intensity and competitiveness of Tanzania`s intra-EAC manufactured exports competitiveness found to be above 100 whereas export competitiveness is found to have increased but below unity since the establishment of the current EAC. Such results could be attributed to special trade preferences, real exchange rate, Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs), infrastructure, inflation and firm size. After identifying the policy implications, in order to rescue the situation, the author recommends concerted efforts to be taken within both, the country and the EAC as a whole. The conclusion point out that EAC is quite useful only that supply side and market access related constraints are still the main hurdles to Tanzania`s intra-EAC manufactured exports. | en_US |
