The advent of international value chains as the predominant form of production is pushing TPOs to focus increasingly on internationalization, rather than export promotion.104 This trend, alongside the complementarity and overlap mentioned earlier, has encouraged trade and investment promotion agencies to merge, particularly in high income countries. While it is above 60% in high income countries, it is below 30% in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Asia-Pacific developing countries. Therefore, whether government agencies provide this information does not (at least directly) influence how much firms export, but it does affect whether firms start or continue exporting.
