Economic Impact of LCRs in BRICS at the WTO

Last week, ECIPE was invited at the WTO to speak on our work on local content requirements in BRICS countries. It was a great pleasure to be there, and the discussion I had with the WTO secretariat was a most interesting. See below for the slides.





Of note, this study takes a broader definition of LCRs into account in the sense that they can relate to public procurement, investments, business operations or market access. Yet in all cases they have a clear requirement for local content classifying them as an LCR. 

Happy read!
