Country Commercial Guides: FY 2000

Country Commercial Guides (CCGs) are prepared annually by U.S. embassies with the assistance of several U.S. Government agencies. These reports present a comprehensive look at countries' commercial environments, using economic, political, and market analysis. The CCGs were established by recommendation of the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC), a multi-agency task force, to consolidate various reporting documents prepared for the U.S. business community.

The CCGs below can be accessed in PDF format and will be available in html format as they are received. To view in PDF, download Acrobat Reader from Adobe. (Installation and web browser instructions are included.)

CCGs also are available on www.usatrade.gov. They can be ordered in hard copy from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) at 1-800-553-NTIS. U.S. exporters seeking general export information/assistance and country-specific commercial information should contact the U.S. Department of Commerce, Ttrade Information Center by phone at 1-800-USA-TRADE OR BY FAX AT (202) 482-4493.
