This thesis is designed to verify the potential for an efficient multilateral agreement on trade in financial services. / After reference to the prevalent types of regulatory barriers and protectionist behaviour, the study analyzes those trade concepts and principles that are of particular importance and relevance to the financial services sector. / A detailed comparison of national submissions for a draft agreement and schedules of market opening commitments from various developing and developed countries subsequently attempts to demonstrate the remaining discrepancy between controversial and often abstract attitudes. / Despite the undeniable influence of the individual level of development and competitiveness, the thesis concludes that the successful fate of the Uruguay Round negotiations on financial services depends primarily on the sincere willingness of all parties to reach a beneficial compromise.
