Financial Services

Approach A:Services with export potential, where the focus needs to be on requests to open export markets in your trading partner countries (offensive market access interests). B: Services with high potential for development but needing foreign investment, where the focus needs to be on opening Mode 3. Or services in which you need to increase efficiency to improve other services and manufacturing. C: Non-sensitive services with relatively low export potential, which can be liberalized in exchange for concessions from trading partners. D: Sensitive services that are best reserved for domestic suppliers, either because they are essential services, they are critical to national development goals, they include a lot of small operators who would be displaced by larger foreign firms that are more efficient, or they need further strengthening before being opened to international competition.
