More broadly, the Maghreb countries have the lowest intra-regional trade in the world, accounting for less than 5% of GDP, compared to 70% in the EU and 50% in North America, owing, in large measure, to a “spaghetti bowl” of preferential trade agreements and non-tariff measures within the region.
Así, los países del Magreb exhiben los menores índices de comercio intrarregional del mundo: menos del 5% del PIB, en comparación con el 70% de la UE y el 50% de Norteamérica.
