Abstract

Global trade in services has increased significantly over last three decades. Earlier, the growth was confined primarily to trade among advanced economies. In more recent times, even developing countries – especially, the emerging market economies (EMEs) – have experienced substantial increase in services trade. Services trade still accounts for only a small share of national income in most EMEs. However, one important trend has been the rapid growth of information-intensive services (IISs). This chapter examines the growth and patterns of services exports and imports from and to a number of EMEs. The analysis indicates that the importance of services trade has been growing for most EMEs. Further, among the EMEs, China, India, and Korea are the most dominant players in services exports and imports. For China, both export and import shares have been rising while for India the export share has been consistently rising. This chapter further discusses some of the intuitively plausible explanations for the growth of trade in services in general and in IISs in particular. It also discusses some of the challenges associated with the growth of IISs trade.
