This report examines the trade consequences of Rwanda's accession to the EAC and the actions that Rwanda can take to get the best out of it. The authors argue that ‘deep’ integration is necessary for the regional integration approach to live up to expectations and deliver measurable economic benefits for Rwanda in the medium term.
