By Peter Enos
• Open-door Trade and Investment Policy (Deng Xiaoping’s rule) vs selective protection in foreign investment and industrial policy targeting- Extensive government subsidies
• Non-interference on domestic affairs of the partner state. Trade sometimes driven more by foreign policy than commercial considerations
• Engagement approach vs punitive approach• Trade, FDI and aid- China agreed to write off $80
million in Sudanese debt, and provide an interest-free unconditional loan of $13 million for infrastructure projects, including a new presidential palace; pledged $5.1 million for humanitarian aid for Darfur
Trade Policies
By Peter Enos
Sudan
• Mutual quality assurance policy; both imported and exported commodities: Quality and Health standards
• Competition policy- Microcredit and business skills to small and medium enterprises aimed to enhance competition with Chinese business.
Trade Policies
By Peter Enos
Trade Policy: Implications
China
• Access to natural resources exploitation due to (so-called) mutual trust.
• Estimates state that nearly 400 million people have been lifted out of poverty due to trade over the last 25 years.
Sudan
• Exporters benefit from tariff preferences
• An increase in volume of trade in non-oil exports
• Consumer surplus • Political stability,
governance and human rights in a deadlock?

Terms of Trade
FATIMA IBRAHIM
About Terms .Of .Trade
• Is the value of a country’s exports relative
to that of it’s imports. It is calculated by
dividing the value of exports by the value
of imports, then multiplying the result by
100%.
Measurement is recorded in an index, for economic monitoring.
By Fatima Ibrahim
Less than 100%
If a country’s terms of trade is less than 100%, it means that there is more capital going out to buy imports than there is coming into the country.
It is often important to know why exports increase relative to imports, especially since the terms of trade are directly impacted by changes in export and import prices.
By Fatima Ibrahim
Greater than 100%
A result greater than 100% means the country is accumulating capital i.e. more money is coming in from exports.
Using terms of trade to determine the health of a country’s economy can draw the wrong conclusions.
By Fatima Ibrahim
Effects of T.o.T
By Fatima Ibrahim
If we must trade…
• Trade will only take place if the terms of trade lie within the opportunity cost ratios of production for both countries.

Terms of trade index
By Fatima Ibrahim
Assumptions
It is assumed that due to the ff reasons the terms of trade(earnings)index will remain inconsistent in terms of improvement & deterioration between the two countries due to : -
•Constant price fluctuation in the global oil market
•Foreign exchange rate increase or decrease.•Depreciation or appreciation in their stocks
most especially for Sudan’s case coming from a fragile status of War and Separation.
